Default Bad
Obviously I can't see it, but that COULD mean you've cracked a head gasket...hopefully it's NOT the case.

Default You sure it's not just a little oil?
Where exactly is it coming from?

Default too watery for oil, it was coming from middle radiator support...>
probably needs a flush plus its still under CPO..
If leaks again will take it to stealer..

Default You're really lucky to be under CPO of it's a head gasket issue.
I would take it in ASAP to have it looked at if.
