Slippery clutch but not consistent or on pulling away?!

Morning all, I recently topped up my gearbox oil and whilst it has improved changes ect I now
Seem to have a slight slip in mid range revs nothing like a
Clutch going (nor should it as I replaced it 3000 miles ago) I'm thinking a
Possible seal leak? Is it advisable for
Me to just open up my timing adjustment hole and spray some clutch and brake cleaner and leave it Over night and pray ? And by leave it I mean leave it open to evaporate!

Kick it…….if it ain\'t moving, eat it!

Ok it's definitely box
Oil! Noticed a pool this morning! So that'll be the box seals! Any ideas on how much it'll cost me'? I just haven't got the time to do it right now as I work in Essex and live in Hampshire!

well i should imagine if its that bad you will need a full clutch change and rear seal, you need to take gearbox/clutch/flywheel to get to it anyway so i should imagine it will be approx the same as a new clutch plus tenner for the seal and an extra hour labour maybe :(
