That part of the tray can be inspected without removal or jacking of the car. Just lie under the car's right rear wheel and aim your iPhone flashlight from above the tray and you'll be able to see any pooled oil, if it exists.
You can inspect more thoroughly with the tray removed, but if there is a big problem you will see it without removal (and you can see the tank seam as well without removing the tray)

Funny, my GT3.2 is having a similar issue and seems like it is burning oil. I replaced the oil and same thing happened. Barely drove it, and now it is at the shop. Hoping it's nothing major.

Sometimes I'm not too sharp. It just occurred to me that instead of using the iPhone flashlight to assist the inspection of potential oil residue in the pan, just take a photo. No craning of neck needed

Got my car back from the dealership. Was there for two weeks waiting for part from germany. Only took a day of actual work. Engine/transmission had to come out ti replace the oil tank which was leaking at tbe seam.

Burning Brakes
Checked mine last weekend (removed defuser) and no leaks.
On a side note, I changed the oil at 1,700 miles, and now with 7,000, my oil level has only dropped about 1/3 on the gauge. Will do oil 2nd change at 7,500. I'm curious where most change their oil, if not tracked?
