Oil Seepage Found
Got oil changed today by my shop.
He saw a little seepage - not dripping, simply collecting 'dust' between motor and trans.
I'm pretty sure this is reasonably common, and is a rear seal leak?
I've a 2013 CD with 46k miles
Time for dealer warranty visit?

Document, clean it, watch it.
stronbl (2013 CD) had a thread on Renntech about his motor ultimately being replaced which started from a seepage as you describe. I also (2013 CD) had a similar seepage, but it has never returned after the area was wiped clean about 20k ago now. Have seen others report it too and as I recall they were all 2013s...
Edit: Here is the RT link https://www.renntech.org/forums/topi...el-fluid-leak/
Edit 2: I see my memory is faulty and it was just his bell housing and not the whole motor that needed to be replaced. Motor had to come out though.
