They're almost definitely going to tap a new hole in the spool and put in a new clicker when you send it in for service. Getting a new spool would probably be asking a lot. You can try, but I don't see it happening.

The clicker is a good spot to hit with a little oil from time to time. Super Lube or anything designed to stop corrosion is the best bet. There's differing metals there and if you rarely rinse the reel with freshwater you can definitely develop some serious corrosion. It's not rust, just the usual white flaky corrosion you get from aluminum.

If you never wash or only occasionally wash your reel, I'd also suggest putting a drop of Super Lube on the screws that hold the line roller to the the rotor cup and also the counterweight.
