I had a leaking rear seal on my engine and it eventually soaked the clutch disk to the point it slipped. I got a clutch kit from Ken Wilford and it included a "Clutch Seal" in a little package. It was a a sort of cupped rubber washer or gasket with a spring in it as I recall. That is what my mechanic installed to stop the oil leak. So I think "Rear Seal" and "Clutch Seal' are the same thing in this case.
