Its not chain lube from the front sprocket cover is it?
Mine gets messy in that area if I have been a bit over enthusiastic with the chain spray and haven't cleaned behind the cover for a while.

Give the whole area a good clean with white spirit or something similar then dry it thoroughly, then monitor it.  while it's clean and dry the path of the leak will be much easier to track.

Don't use additives they might mess up your clutch.  Keep an eye on it and you will see where it's coming from.  Probably either the gearchange shaft oil seal or the sprocket oil seal.
