The bearing retainer also acts as a sleeve for the release bearing and part of the oil retention system for the front of the trans. The bearing nut/oil slinger works in conjunction with the aforementioned part. If there is damage or excessive wear there will be too much clearance between the components and oil will wick out the front of the trans. The only way to inspect these components is to remove the trans and partially disassemble it. Hope that helps. Great looking truck. Leaks are a pain!
