Oil leaks never heal, they only get worse. I would be concerned about getting a 3" puddle under the car as the RMS is above the oil level in the sump when the engine is not running, but the IMS is below the oil level. Even though your clutch is working fine, considering that most of the cost of doing the RMS and IMS is labor, I would replace the clutch (which may also have oil on it as well), along with the throw out bearing and pilot bearing. Be sure to test your dual mass flywheel for twist while it is apart, oil can kill the elastomer pretty quickly.
