they probably fixed it while in there.

I've got this leak too on my 2014 BRZ. I have no idea when it started, but it looked like it had been there for a while when I discovered it during a major service on my car at about 70K miles. What are the consequences of just letting it be other than it being a bit of a nuisance that forces you to check the oil level more often? I should add that I have forced induction.
