Over the weekend my 2010 Kizashi GTS hit 16,000 miles. I purchased the car used with 10k miles it form a hyundai dealership, I figured I should take it in to a dealer to get an oil change and have them take a look. Apperently there were a few recalls that needed to be taken care of, so I ended up spending half the dealership.
When they finished up the lady at the service desk said the tech, noticed the camshaft was leaking oil and they were going to have it take it back in, because they didant have the necessary parts. She told me the oil leak was nothing serious, but it will need to be handled.
When I finished up at work I went out to my car and noticed there was a good bit of oil under the right drivers side tire. I'm a little worried, if my oil starts dumping all over the place I'm in sme trouble. While driving home I called the dealership, they told me to stick a peice of cardboard under the leak and see if it keeps up...
Has anyone else had a problem like this? Anyone have advice? I went to a dealership in northeast philly and I was not impressed...

Keep an eye on the dipstick. I once had a reliable Jiffy Lube change the oil in one of my XL-7s. The tech got the filter caught on a wire, which was apparently easy to do. This caused a slow leak. Also, of course, if there really is oil leaking the warranty will cover.
