Diagnose the CEL first. Not to fix it but to know what it is telling you.
Pull the oil filter and inspect.

Those are cheap things you can do yourself and you'll know then what type of issues you face.

(Oil on the face of a well used clutch and yes you could want to do the clutch while you are in there. Even if the oil is the most benign RMS leak, you are into the wallet for the R&R of the transmission and you might as well do the RMS seal with the new one, AOS, clutch and IMS as they don't add that much labor once you have the transmission off. I say "that much" compared to doing them later in a separate Trans pull. But then we each have our own maintenance strategies and budgets.)

Good luck.
