There have been a handful of people claiming a leak at the timing chain cover, I could only find one quickly: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1617278 Take it back to the dealer for warranty, that's what it's for. Like in the thread I linked the solution is to just throw more sealant at it, document the issue and hope it was just a defect that slipped through the cracks. Edit: To be clear, this is unusual but not alarming, hope it's simple.

Yes mine is leaking at the timing chain cover. They have resealed it once already. My car has been in the shop seven times now for oil leaks and I'm currently going through the lemon law process.
