Oil Leak ** NEW UPDATE** ITS OFF, ITS OFF Options

[Tigawoods]

well to outline this problem, i have been having an oil leak that has just gotten worse in recent weeks. it is coming from the backside of the engine and drips on the the plastics and the flexpipe.
i am going to be doing an oil dye test tommorow to get more info.

here is where the problem comes
the engine is under warranty at a shop in philadelphia. the last time i had a problem, i had blown a head gasket and they said it was dude to my headers having gasket leak, which i later found out could not happen. it cost me $500 to fix.
this oil problem from what i have been told, could most likely be the rear main seal, which is part of the rebuilt engine as i have assumed. there arent any items that i have added to the car that could effect this. i dont want to get screwed over and told that it was something that i put on to cause this. i just want to take it there and have them fix it (if it is the rear main seal or another engine component)

this needs to be dealt with now so i really need your guys opinions asap
thanks

i talked to the guys at the shop today. they said that the valve cover and the oil pan are not under warranty. so i am assuming everything in between is under warranty. i will most likely take it there friday. hopefully by then i can figure out what it is, then they can fix it rather then they diagnose it, fix the leak and say it was something else that is not under warranty.

there was no oil when i did the timing belt. the valve cover gasket was in pristine condition. i thought the oil buildup on the flat part on the head was just left over oil from the edge of the gasket.

honestly i have no idea what to do but to take it to them, i really want to figure out what it is though before i take it
