A leak into the bellhousing will be a seal gone, either the crank shaft seal or gear box input shaft seals which is gearbox out to repair to do it properly

Is it engine oil or gearbox oil?
Input shaft seal is easy enough. Gearbox out, half a dozen bolts, refit. About £8 from Suzuki.

The manual says it has sealant. IE liquid/silicone gasket.
I trust the oil seal is OK
