I'm inclined to say do at least one service and then plan to do the next when you have a leak. You will have a leak at some point from either the mechatronics cover or oil pan. I tightened all of the bolts on my mechantroics cover once but it is leaking. I need to do rod bearings and engine mounts soon. So I'll tip the engine/trans back so I can replace the cover gasket. I might lose some oil but I'll just top it off.
The oil pan is probably going to be leaking by the time it hits 130k to 140k...so it will be time for a service.

IS there no way or replacement parts that stop the leaking Like viton gaskets maybe and better made side cover and pan?
