I bought new pads after my other pads got ruined with what I thought was 2 stroke oil from a fuel leak. After filing down all 15 over sized pads, the bike ran fine for a few miles till the clutch started slipping again. I opened it up and once again the pads were dirty. It looks as if grease is coming from the bearing seam from under the clutch plate guide. Any suggestions?
Thank you

I had to tighten up the preload on my clutch / adjust the flower nut. It also helped to completely remove the clutch, clean it out with brake cleaner, and re-lubricate it with just a dab of some thicker bearing grease. I'm not sure about some types of pads, but when mine got grease on them, I just sprayed them down with brake cleaner and wiped them off and let them dry. I'm still on my original set with close to 1800 miles.

The oil could be coming from the crank seal behind the small gear. Mine leaked at one time, and it would pool oil in the bottom of the gear cover.

Check your clutch cable tension. If you dumped the bike something might have changed and is pulling the clutch cable too tight. Maybe the handlebar lever was twisted causing the cable to be too tight. Dropping the bike shouldn't have had anything to do with the clutch unless the actuator arm on the engine was moved somehow or cable tension was changed.
