Easter Sunday SC engine drop - got a couple of questions

Celebrated Easter with the family on Saturday instead. Got tired of the "Liberals Have No Honor" thread in OT so I thought I'd drop the motor. Actually, ever helpful Vash lit a fire under me to get the clutch job started so that I can do track day with the rest of the Bay Area Pelicans on 5/26 at Thunderhill.

Questions:

- when we pulled the axles off the tranny, we noticed tranny fluid leaking out from the CV boots. What can cause that?

- the flywheel seems to be missing the pilot bearing. Did Porsche not use a pilot bearing on the '79 SCs? I can't imagine that the Porsche shop (great local reputation) that the PO used 4 years ago left it out by mistake. The reason we're doing the clutch work is that the pedal is extremely stiff and we've eliminated all the easy stuff already.

TIA for your advice.
