Default 08 MazdaSpeed 3 Oil leak from rear main seal

hi all, had the car for about 3 wks. and 518 miles. went to install MS3 Cold Air Intake and there it was an OIL LEAK betweent the engine and transmission. Super clean, light honey color oil. I can't believe it.

Here is the topper. The dealer gave me a loaner (I think Mazda pays for it) at the Enterprise Rent a Car down the street. The car they gave me ---KIA RIO. What a crapper

If I had bought a Toyota I would have gotten nothing, Yes I know but a Kia Death trap. Lowest safety rated car on the market. I hope they fix my oil leak FASSSSSST.

Any one have this problem with oil leak? Is it common? My car is COMPLETELY STOCK. all input appreciated. Thanks
