Another oil leak. Anyone have oil leaks in \'02? Advice?

This really ticks me off. New car, and it's already leaking oil? The whole under carriage is all dirty and oily! Damn! I just bought the car from a dealer brand new. Of course it is under warranty but ***?
They are checking rear main seal today.
Anyone else have oil leak problem in '02's?
Any ideas? It leaks about 2-3 drops per day on to the floor. It looks like it is comming from the rear part of the block.
Thanks

This '02 is clean here.

Could it be that the oil pan plug doesn't have the gasket on it? That happen once to me on my older GTS and it dripped a couple drips real slow.

My 01 sprung a leak when it was only a few months old. The oil cooler had a hole in it. It was not covered under warranty! Dealer billed me $1000

Clean here too bud - sorry to hear about it.

Hopefully it's nothing major.

No leaks here. Sorry to hear about your 02. Maybe it's a simple fix.

Geez Louise. That would really piss me off. Amazing how a car under the original warranty would develop a major problem that was not covered. Sounds like the stealer, I meant dealer, ripped you on this one.

Yeah - I had one in my 2002 RT/10. I didn't really notice much oil at all. But when I took it in for the 6K oil change they found one of fittings loose on the front oil cooler lines. In fact, loose enough to be a quart low.

They tightened the fittings and tested the lines before handing it back to me. No leak now.

I had noticed a little oil at one time and didn't really think about it much. I thought it might be my other vehicle.
