Looks about worn out to me. In my limited experience I don't think you can dry it enough to get all the oil out. It will start grabbing on you and then on one of those grabs it will shatter.
Back in the day, I used to be able to park the 50 or 57 chevy over a dry ditch, drop the tranny by hand, and change the clutch. Then do it all over again cause I didn't change the throwout bearing at the same time. Then do it again cause I didn't resurface the cracks in the flywheel surface and had premature disk failure. Add in a little hotrodding into the equation.
Usually they say to change the pilot bearing in the flywheel at the same time for about 5 bux each. Check that seal and probably replace it. If there is a freeze plug back there change it if it is showing any kind of rust but may not if rusting on the inside but freeze plugs are cheap. Don't know about the Ferguson but with the internationals oil will flow through the mounting bolt holes of the flywheel so they recommend using red thread locker on them.
Of course you need to address the source of the oil leak or it will happen again. Engine oil or tranny oil and replace the seal(s).

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
