OH Problem with Oil Coolant Line

Hey folks i need some advice i got my 8 a little under a month ago, i payed $5,700k for it it has 41k miles (i know what your thinking theres something wrong but i got it looked at by a close mechanic before i got it, it was all good) the only problem it has is an oil coolant line leak!! now im not sure what to do, iv been searching around and saw that there is a recall out for this problem and that mazda should fix it free of charge.. now should i go ahead and take it to a mazda dealership and have them look at it or should i but the parts and do it my self (about $200 for the parts alone)?
