32:1 is fine.. you may want to have a look at those seals though.

Maybe do a leakdown test on it..

The seal behind the clutch wouldn't be a problem, just the crank seals.

Have a leakdown test done on the cylinder, that will tell you if the crank seals are toast.

With a leak down tester, sure.. But they aren't exactly the cheapest tool to have in your box.

And unless you are going to be using it a lot, it's probably best to just have it done.
