Oil Leak

Oil Leak
I had my clutch replaced in December (redline MT-90 & Exedy stage 1), and now there seems to be an oil leak. From what I can tell the only place that I can see oil is on the MT shift linkage where the rubber accordion cover is. As soon as I find my jack and digital camera I will post a pic.
I am not 100% sure if it is engine oil or gear oil at this time but it leaves about a nickle size amount on the ground every night. I assume motor oil since one morning the car would not start even though the starter was engaging. I then checked the oil level when was seemingly nonexistent, added oil and the car started. If the car senses that the oil level is low will it not allow the car to start??
Also if anyone lives in Las Vegas and can offer assistance let me know.
(99 Max with 79k miles have only used Mobil1 10-30w since 3rd oil change)

If you want us to just guess, we could say it's anything leaking back there

For a the tranny seal to be replaced, you have to dismantle the tranny. So if they did not, then you know there wasnt any tranny seal replaced. Was the transmission oil leaking when you did your clutch? And have you checked the gear oil level?
