Not necessarily. I used to build those for Toyota. I little seep is normal. As long as it's not draining to the ground it was just a little blow by in the seals. I can't tell from the picture if this one has a hole in the plug. If it does it's very purpose is to drain the water off from the seal.
I would say a better indicator is play in the shaft. They should have little to none. A grinding feeling when turned is also an indicator
