as in an rear main oil seal leak? but that would imply a slipping clutch as well, i think... check for oil leaks

check transmission fluid as well; that's my other guess if the transmission input shaft seal is leaking gear oil... pry off the clutch fork boot & do a visual <shrugs>

dry/dusty vapor??? clutch material mebbe; i.e. like how brake pads wear down & blows dust over your rims/suspension components???

(just wasting some time for the free mobil oil link on gen chat)
