Crank seals aren't the best seal known to man and it's not unusual for them to leak, to be fair they do have a tough job!
As for changing them, I think it would be odd to change them with every cam belt, they're not a service item though it is more likely that a faulty one would be noticed during a cambelt change.
No idea about part numbers or price, I shouldn't imagine they'd be more than a tenner, prolly not even a fiver!

The one on my MY95 went about a month AFTER I had the cam belt changed 
I had to have another belt fitted as the oil had contaminated it. Although it's not a service item, I would recomend that it's changed when the cam belt is, or at least on the second change (90k i think)...

Mine started leaking at 68K but needed a cambelt anyway so killed 2 birds with one stone if you know what i mean? so my advice is if your having a cambelt THEN GET IT DONE cause the seal only costs £5 its the labour that will sting you.

Mine was diagnosed By ScoobySport yesterday. MY95 96Kmiles. I had the cam belt done at 88K (by my local Dealer) 
So yes if its high mileage get it done at the same time
