my dohc ka had a bad rear main seal leak which caused my clutch to slip. i was wondering since oil touched the clutch disc, would i have to replace it as it will still slip? or am i good to use the same clutch? the clutch was good prior to the leak.

I think it depends on how soaked the disk is... if its covered in oil I'd replace it. You can get replacement disks depending on what kind of clutch it is.

I bought one for my RPS clutch and it was like $120

Its a good idea to replace it. The material is porous and will cause a slip, even if its just a little. If its already slipping, you're too late. IF you want to use it, which you shouldn't, soak it in brake clean.
