The bushing/spacer behind your CS has probably either gotten full of crap or has corroded compromising the seal. Do Not ride until you fix it! What type of riding do you do? Do you ride in a lot of mud/wet?

Here is a link to some Stainless replacements....Don't know if they last any longer? Somebody else can probably clue you into what parts you would need to complete the repair.

What year is your bike? How many miles do you have on it?

If you haven't completed the red Loctite fix on your CS sprocket nut, it's also very possible that your CS nut has come loose, allowing the spacer and seal to migrate outward.
You need to take it apart and see what's going on behind there, before you ride it again.

See this thread and get it fixed before it gets worse. That seal holds back pressurized oil, so when it finally gives up it's going to dump all the oil very quickly.
