I would put money on that being the o-ring & bearing. They're easy to change and the parts are <£100. I did it as a precaution while my drivetrain was out for the new engine. I would suggest parking it up until you can get it apart to have a look since it sounds like it might be recoverable now, but if the clutch packs start slipping they will burn out very quickly and then its full rebuild time. Get a sample of the oil - if it's grey/brown and a bit fishy it's rescueable. If its dark brown and smells burnt then its too late.

That's a very good start
Getting the gearbox out of & back in the car is the hardest part. The rest is easy once it's on the bench.
