if you are doing the job its your labour time if you are paying for it then you probably replace the clutch as a unit. Its not a 5 minute job.

If the leak is minimal, perhaps just live with it.

it'll be rare to find any oil on the clutch. as the leak is on one side of the flywheel, and the clutch is on the other side.
