Default Clutch Cable Leaking?

A dark milky oil is running down my clutch lever, I think it is probably coming from the cable. Also noticed a small oil spot in the shed under the bike, but have not had a chance to really look at it yet.

Is the cable damaged? And also suggestions, stop riding until its repaired, or ok to go until I get a chance to get to it.

Thanks

Don't worry about it, get a new cable when you get around to it as long as it's not leaking too bad, I've got a clutch cable on my fatboy that has worn a spot through it where it goes under the engine, it drips maybe 2 or 3 drops overnight, not even enough to tell the difference in the oil level in the tranny, I'll replace it one of these days but not high on the priority list at this point.

It could be the o-ring that is on the clutch cable where it screws into the tranny side cover.
