blown gasket maby and lost my clutch??
So I was driving down the highway and I go to take my exit and i realised I didn't have a clutch, there was no tension on it and when released it just stayed in there wss no tension to pull it back out so I clutchless shift to first and found a curb to ride up on there was no sholder so I rode it in that little raised triangular area you find sometimes when u exit a highway and killed it I get off and there is oil all over my rear tire shock and the bottom of my motor so I'm guessing whetever happened to my oil caused my clutch to not work I took off my front sprocket cover and everything looks in place for my clutch being in an apt I can work on it here will have to take it somewhere else just wondering if anyone had any idea how losing oil which I'm guessing is a bad gasket could cause me to have no clutch if anyone has any ideas please let me know if you have any questions of anyrhing I'm leaving out let me know ill answer the best I can

Under your Front Sprocket cover is the Clutch Push Rod; I have a feeling this has failed somehow and the Push Rod Seal has failed along with it.
If this seal fails it will shoot oil out the front sprocket cover, onto your chain and all over your rear wheel. My guess is your Push rod snapped.
In the pic below: The Push Rod is sticking out in front of the sprocket and you can see the black seal around it. Check it out.
