My 8 is sick!

So I take the 8 in for what i think is a pan gasket leak. Get a cal after a day that they think that its the rear main seal on the engine and that they have to drop the tranny to find out. They tell me that they pulled the starter and the area was covered with oil residue. Question: Should I enquire about the clutch? From the little that I know of working on cars there would be a large chance that the disc would be covered with oil. Am I right or not?
Please tell me why I dorp off a $35,000 car and get a Focus for a loaner car? Just a Question?
