Oil from the rear oil seal behind the flywheel, oil can get on clutch when it goes, as it does by 80,000 - 100,000 miles!
You have a hydraulic clutch ( see the smaller reservoir by the driver's side of the intercooler? ) but it's not likely to be from that.
Else clutch has had it, when was it last changed / mileage it has on it.... ?

If that low mileage / recent engine / clutch/g'box change, take it back to them!
Gearbox oil should be at max ( or a little above! ) on the dip stick under the intercooler, and should be the right grade gear oil of a good make. If low the 'box feels a bit sticky/crunchy, but not sure if that's your problem.
Could it be the famous "nut falls off a main shaft" problem? In which case get it back to them!!
If it's only done it the once on Sat, then maybe not a problem at all!!

Erm, I think measure oil when cold on gearbox ( unless it has hot and cold marks like engine oil dipstick, but I don't think it has! )
Suggest, chop it in for an STi !!

Was only joking, you should get a fair bit more for it than that!
No, only know of an STI RA for about £9k .. although has a new STi8 engine in after it blew , so far as I am aware!
