Oil leak signs on surface of oil pan

So I just got around to do my first oil change on my 718 GTS on Saturday, at 3,300 miles on the odometer.
When I removed the bottom cover I noticed oil on the surface of the oil pan and one of the torx screws holding the pan in place. Its almost as if it was coming from the oil pan gasket itself but I could not verify due to tight spacing. I went ahead and completed the oil change as usual.
I'll mention that I did not experience any oil issues before or after the oil change. Car holds oil levels and pressure fine both before and after oil change. Also, there were no traces of oil on the inside portion of the bottom cover.
Were the Porsche assembly line employees just sloppy (didn't clean after themselves) in the assembly of this car and i should just move on, or do I have any reason for concern here?
