This further illustrates the need to do some good investigating when it comes to leaks. You can't always expect the dealer to take the time. Often the source is not the point from which it drips.

Read the TSB. The timing cover can make it look like it's leakin from all kinda places.

My vote is the timing chain cove. My leaked and was replaced at the dealership. FREE

Mine seems to be just around the lowest bolt on the bolthead side. Again, not wet or dripping, just kinda dirty and when I wipe it with my finger it's black like oil. Hopefully just needs to be retorqued back down. Anyone know the torque specs on these?

Earlier you said "I've got the same lookin thing". So I take it your leak looks like it is at the bell housing.
Retorquing the bell housing bolt won't do anything for you as far as preventing leakage.

I'll post a pic when i get a chance.

Here's mine:

Mine looks similar to that I have the 6 speed and just had the intake manifold gasket replaced but looks like it is still leaking out of the bell housing some not really dripping just wet with oil even after wiping off a day or two later it will return dealer doesnt want to do anything about it they said it is residual from the intake gasket well that was 4500 miles ago the fixed it and when I changed my oil it was a qt low with 4000 on the oil I think it may be burning it too but not seeing any smoke though. I will wait and see what this oil change cycle shows.

I have had to replace a couple rear main seals on these already. When the rear main leaks oil fills up in the bell housing and continuous to leak there unless its cleaned out.
