Not had chance to find the cause but bike has some spotters of gear oil. Final dive is fine. Clutch is fine. Let's hope it's the output shaft seal.

Saying that I replaced the seal 10,000 miles ago. Let's hope the bearing isn't now on its way out.
 
Update.
Back home & had a proper look. One of the exhaust hanger bracket screws is missing and it's oily around there. I'll see what I've got for a replacement.
Cars never have these problems. Come to that never did the built to a price Diversion 900.

Another update.

Catastrophe over (I hope).

The exhaust hanger bracket had lost one M6 screw and the other one was loose so oil was coming out under load but not dripping when parked. Two days of motorway miles this week probably loosened it off and splashed more oil about. New screw fitted to the open hole and the other screw tightened. No time get it degreased but hopefully that's an end to it.

Phew!
