many little outlets where leaks occur...could be a manufacture defect. by corner do u mean at the valve cover?...extra oil will go through the pcv and puddle into the manifold in most cases

ok I hope I can explain this better....

standing in front of car with the hood up....by corner, then I mean the left side at the back of the engine ~ half ways down...,the engine block is sorta sculpted into a little square piece where anything, oil, water, etc can pool.....if it helps, it looks like the piece of metal in front of it has a ball bearing in it....hard to describe, sorry......anyways I found some oil in this little "square piece"......only place I could see it being from was a seal...

no you don't have to worry, probably from the manufaturer or the last person who did an oil change...the oil isn't under pressure so don't worry.
