Of course it can also be done later.
Good eye. It was a very light misting from a bad output shaft seal combined with possibly clutch disc material (that stuff was everywhere) or just standard engine/road gunk.

Also could you post a pic of your original clutch disk for comparison to the new "upgraded" clutch disk? It appears the new disk has quite a bit more friction material than the original disk. Might have to consider the additional rotating mass when I change mine.
It was all the way down into the rivets. I'm sure it was original to the car. It measures exactly 5mm overall.
