Main seal might just be weeping because of crankcase pressure due to ring blow by. Also Minis do not have enough breathers so are naturally prone to leaking out various oil seals. With a Mini, if you think you have enough breathers, add one more. If the clutch isn't slipping don't worry about the leaking oil.

Rear main seal on the engine.
Look underneath there is a split pin on the clutch housing, if it has oil dripping from it the rear seal is bad.
