What you will find when you pull the engine and take off the flywheel ( recommend the Torque Meister and a flywheel lock to convert a hard job into an easy one) is that there will be a trail of oil coming down the back of the engine.

The oil may also be greyer if it is a slow leak it may be picking up a little case metal from all the times you sit with your foot on the clutch at traffic lights and the thrust surface wears away inside the engine just beside the oil seal.
So the oil there might be a little richer in metal than elsewhere. Or it could be water or dirt, or ground up bits of the seal where its worn. You might see glitter on a bit of kitchen towel if you wiped it on the oil and left it.
Not necessarily a lot to worry about. Just idle in neutral at traffic lights and mentally slap yourself on the hand for putting your foot on the clutch for more than a few seconds at a time.
