Default 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.

Thanks for the link. Yep, that's what he saw. Will watch it.
