Check if it's coming from the rear main seal. Mine was replaced at 28k miles!

If you're under warranty I'd take it to the dealer.

Also, take a picture of it. Then clean it all off and re-inspect it in a few days. It there's fresh oil definitely take it to the dealer.

My SS was at my dealer for 3 days to get the rear main replaced. They didn't start working on it until the day after I dropped it off, and it took the guy a day and a half to do it.

I agree with CentexSS, if it is under warranty, definitely take to the dealer. No sense in paying or it you attemping to do it if they will do it for free!
