On my 2010 the other day I got under it to change the oil and noticed a wet spot around the axle where it goes into the transmission like that seal had been leaking. Right above that there was a drop of oil on one of the lines going to the turbo. Do I need to make a trip to the dealer?

I've heard some stories about leaks on the earlier 09's, but not where you're talking about, and my 09 is so far oil-leak free (knock on wood).

You have a warranty use it. Take it in and tell them this doesn't look right.

The hole drivers side of the engine is black from top to bottom. I've stopped riding it until I get a chance to take it to the dealer. Thanks
