Well I noticed it yesterday on my driveway.. got under the truck and it look like it was the filter, but couldn't really tell. Took it into the dealer today and they said "oil pan gasket" likely.. from my research, it's likely the front seal as well.. I'm right at 42K miles, so I should be covered under the powertrain warranty I hope.

They didn't keep it, said bring it back Tuesday of next week and they'll get started. I'll keep you guys updated.
 
you are correct on the two common areas there and I will add that I see more of the plugs leaking now, than the pan or cover. I am referring to the plug at the front of the engine, just above the front cover.
 
Well, after my oil change last week I've been monitoring, nothing else has leaked. Cancelled my appt for now, but I will keep an eye on it.
 
Well, it's still leaking. I'm at 50K miles now.. I'm assuming warranty is still in play here. I worry about any parts being back ordered sadly. I will likely take it back in this week.
 
Dropping the truck off in the morning for diagnostics to see what the issue is. It has a very, very small leak still.
 
Dealer called be back, said they finally got to it today (after 4 days, thanks) and said drive it a week or so. They put dye in the oil to help track the leak down it seems as they had no luck finding the source while up on the lift...
