Dealer will rip you off. There's a dye you can buy for finding oil leaks. If I was I'n your position, I'd clean up that area so it looked like new, pour an appropriate amount of compatible dye in the oil, and watch the suspected area like a hawk. Then poat pics here when it appears, and people can give you suggestions.
