I am going to be replacing my bellows and gimbal bearing next week. Do I need a new grease seal too? I want to get the parts on order and not miss something.

Seals wear just like all other parts but its your boat, but I would if it were mine.

You do not. That "seal" really doesn't do much, just keeps excess gimbal bearing grease from leaking down the driveshaft into the engine bay. You may replace it if you wish.
