Default Fluid leaking from clutch lever area

Just had my '05 RG high-beam switch repaired (was shorting out) and now I'm seeing fluid dripping from the clutch lever area. Damn, they fix one thing -- and cause another problem? I know nothing about the clutch lever operation, but I'm assuming it's possible to be leaking hyd fluid from there? Is this an easy diagnostic / repair, or should I pay another $50 deductible to have the dealer check and fix it?

Hell NO.....if they did a repair on a switch and you now have a leak, it's their responsibility to fix that...no cost!

Most likely it's cable grease from the clutch cable blowing around on the left grip area. Just have to wipe it off.
