Are you sure the leak isn't from a crack in the valve cover, the drain hole in the valve cover or spray from dipstick? All of which are common causes for oil over there.
Yes, you shouldn't boost, launch or shift quick on a new clutch if it's an organic disc. But if it wasn't/isn't adjusted right that is a more likely cause of slipping. Or if the rear main or tranny is leaking oil onto the disc. Or the clutch is just to weak for your power. Even if you aren't the nicest to a new clutch, they usually don't fail right away.
