after kicking my bike over to try and start it for 5 minutes, i gave up, turned petrol off and then noticed gearbox oil on sump guard under clutch cover. the washer that goes under the head of the bolt that holds kickstart in is cracked in half but that wont cause leak will it?

I doubt it. Clean engine and search for leak. Is it oil, or is it oil/petrol mix residue from carb. Did you find out if the engine was flooded with petrol?

its definitely gearbox oil because its red

Check your gearbox drain plug.

 Beta`s leak from the point behind the kick start shaft.

that seems to be where its coming from, how do i seal it again?

*UPDATE* The o ring seal on the clutch cover has broke in half and thats where oil was coming from. New O Ring on the way now. Then just to figure out why the pig wont start.
