Apologies, my brain just kicked in yes it is an oil seal spring. Thanks for the help you guys are awesome

There's a spring in the oil seal??, been looking at exploded views of transmissions all night and can't seen to see anything, apologies for my noobness but never had to do anything with the tranny apart from change the fluid before

So went to do what I thought was an easy repair on my chain sprocket as it had come off the drive shaft. Went to top up some fluids, gearbox was low, topped up discovered a leak on the gasket, fair enough took off the cover and now the trouble starts. Inside the clutch housing there were pieces of the plastic gear that drives my Impeller (I can fix this) but also what appeared to be shards of tiny springs. The springs are about 1/10th the size of the ones holding the clutch plates and really delicate looking so seem strange to me to be in the gearbox. Any ideas where they have come? or anyone know of any other springs in the gearbox asdie from the clutch ones which were all fine, trying to decide where/how far I need to go ripping. I think could be major gearbox fail as this would indicate what broke the water impeller and driveshaft sprocket at same time, there was no bang but it stopped at high speed, just coasted to a stop like the chain snapped but saw it was the sprocket, any help be much appreciated, first time poster long term lurker.
