Rear transmission leak

[Tecumseh]

I had my clutch replaced three weeks ago and noticed a puddle of oil underneath my bike this morning. It smells like gear oil and appears to be coming from the bottom bolt of the slave cylinder (see photo). Can I continue riding until I can get it to the mechanic or will this quickly foul the new clutch. It only leaks when it is being ridden and it only leaks a few cls at the moment.

Did you replace the slave cylinder gasket when you did the clutch job ?

As it's unusual for oil to leak from there. Gearbox oil usually fills the slave cylinder/rear of gearbox compartment and runs along the clutch pushrod tunnel and contaminates the clutch.

You'll need to replace the small oil seal on input shaft output end, in the rear of the gearbox down the slave cylinder recess.

It appears to be the output shaft seal. The closest to what I'm experiencing is explained in this R1200RT thread. http://bmwsporttouring.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=717498&page=1

If this is the output shaft seal is the bike good to ride for the next week or so until I can get a replacement seal or will the clutch foul because the liquid can seep down the pushrods?
