Default Rear main seal time?

So I just ripped off my transmission and was greeted with the tiniest bit of oily sledge at the bottom of the bell housing.

Is this normal or should I go ahead and replace the rear main seal?

Also; I've got the transmission off to do a clutch swap. Do I have to do anything to the flywheel in preparation for a fresh clutch disc?

Below is a pic of said oily sludge. (After I'd ran my finger through some of it)

Do you have to pull the oil pan to replace the rear main seal?
