Hi welcome, Leisure Trail will do you a seal. Fine shavings might be of the clutch hub, but do you know how old the oil is?
If not change it and monitor, noting the mileage, and type of riding you've been doing.
From memory, that seal is on the outside, behind the sprocket, but others will correct that if incorrect, and if that is the case that's a whole world of difference.
