Sounds like the oil seal behind the sprocket has gone west, it can be replaced, take of sprocket to gain access., carefully extract old seal , a search through back post will throw up a couple of ways of doing the job , and also the seal required , or a call to LT will provide the answers .

Or possibly gear shifter seal, again easy fix parts from Leisuretrail, or i can let you have the honda part number ( about £6 )

I had a sprocket leak and replaced the gear shifter seal while I was relacing the other.
figured I might as well do it while my hands were dirty and it's cheap enough.

You will save some pennies by getting the sizes and going to a bearing/seal shop.
