While it certainly is not dry around my Front Seal it does not drip so it is not a candidate for changing.
Also after reading about the People who have had the Crank Damper come loose (I know they did not come loose after a Front Seal Change but I figure leave well enough alone) and chew up the end of the Crank Shaft it would take a serious leak before I would change the Front Seal.

Only when going through an engine anyway. I checked four to eight.
