Post Front main and balance shaft seals

Just curious, what else should I do 'while I'm in there' doing the front main and balance shaft seals on the 944NA?

I know the balance shaft belt and timing belt, but what else?

Water pump and replace all of the timing belt rollers.

Oddly enough my waterpump was replaced just before the front main seal went. Anything else?

Replace the Mylar seals behind the balance shaft spacers and the oil pump cog.

We cleaned it all up and took it for a drive, came back and it was drizzling out of the front main area (i think) at an alarming rate. I think it was the front main anyway, it's that big circular one on the lower front part of the engine.
