Hey guys. Engine was de-greased and has been run for roughly 30mins with and without revs to see where the leak is from.

1. There is an oil leak coming from just next to the half-shaft where it goes into the Gearbox. Inside that little gap. It can be seen very slightly.

2. There is an oil leak from where the Gearbox joins into the engine. (Photo taken from underneath car). Clutch has been replaced, so i am assuming it was not sealed back properly. How is it supposed to be repaired? Hondabond? Gasket?

Definately fixable.

It it only started after the clutch was done, its 2 things;

1 - The Gearbox output seal was damaged when they removed and/or refitted the shaft
2 - The rear main seal is damaged. There is no oil in the bell housing (well there shouldnt be) so its not a matter of that being sealed properly. The rear main shouldve been replaced when the clutch was done.

just out of curiosity, did you manage to find the source of leak?
