4000 miles already leaks oil

Today I decide to wash the engine from the bottom of the car and I saw oil leaking from the oil pan, and the engine -transmission unit, I guees mus be the rear of the engine seal ,
I wash evrithing off and I will go to the dealer for a re-torque of the oil pan.
Any one with this problems?
When itwas with few miles I saw oil on the driveway few drops here and there because is dificult to park the car on the same exactly spot I assure tht it was left over oil from the factory.
