Put in a magnetic oil drain plug and that will tell you what you need to know about the internals. When you get the oil changed take the filter apart and see what you find.

Magnetic ferrous particles are the bits of greatest concern and can warn of IMS issues, plus you just want that metal out of circulation through your engine as it will accelerate anything bad that might already be happening.

I would not worry much about the IMS before the scheduled clutch job unless there are oil leaks specifically from the IMS area.
