That is not an unreasonable price, especially for a dealer. The C4 trans is more labor to remove.
The leak can be from the RMS or intermediate shaft seal (IMS). Both show at the bottom of the bell housing. Neither will foul the clutch, the IMS is below it and the RMS is behind the flywheel. It would have to be a massive leak to reach the clutch. That said it is not impossible.
The indy that changed my IMS also replaced my dry RMS with "the latest update” with my blessing. The new one leaked from week one. The second has been dry for ~6k miles. They put the first one in without the special tool. They bought the tool for the second one.
I would replace the clutch while you have it apart. The clutch probably has another 15- 20k in it but if you can afford to, replace it while everything is apart. You might be amazed by the reduction in effort and how smooth a new clutch pack is.
The labor was $900 the parts were ~$1300 on a 2003 C2. This was covered by my, mandatory in NJ, 3 month 3k mile warranty from the car dealer.
