Did you recently have the oil changed? I know when I change mine and I get a little over zealous when removing the oil filter I get some leakage down the back of the engine which seems to take a while to make it to the ground. I end up with an oil drop on the garage floor every day for about a week before it stops.

Also, it's possible that if the oil was recently changed, and they drained it from the bottom vs using an extraction pump from the top, that the drain plug was not sufficiently tightened. I had that happen to me (I did the oil change) - I was panicked to see an oil spot in the parking lot one day... after removing the belly shield over the oil pan, I noticed a very slow drip from the drain plug that had probably been happening for a week or two. The felt on the shield was completely soaked with oil, so it was dripping from out around the edges of the shield, not the middle of the car where the plug is...

Tightened it a tad more and everything was fine.

2013 should still be under wty - why not hit the dealer for diagnosis and repair?
