Hmmm... fluid under bike, clutch suddenly no-workie. Hydraulic clutch ya
think?

It would be helpful when you post to post ALL of the information like "I was
riding the bike and the clutch suddenly didn't work, at the same time a
whole bunch of oil-looking stuff came out of the fairing" perhaps even going
so far as to tell which side of the bike, towards the front or back, etc.

Did you check the engine oil level to determine if that's what's all over
the ground? Was the bike still running when you stopped?

Trailer it home or to a mechanic. If you want to look it over yourself,
take off the fairings and find out where the oil is coming from. Post it
here, maybe with a link to a pic or two and you'll likely get all sorts of
advice and assistance.
