It's more than likely an RMS leak. If it's just a minor leak with a few drops on the floor then I wouldn't change it out right away. Wait until you need a new clutch and then have the RMS swapped out then. Just put a piece of cardboard down in your garage in the meantime.

Oh, since you have a tip scratch what I said about the clutch job. If you can live with a small oil leak then you're ok, but it sucks getting oil all over your driveway and you can't lay down cardboard there to easily.

Just as i previously mentioned, you can defer the RMS repair depending on the amount of the oil leak, make sure you check your oil levels regularly.
