Oil Leak? Changing the oil and noticed this.....

This is the upper left side of the motor (front), left if you are standing looking at the motor from the front of the car. Almost looks like a gasket is pushed out, maybe nothing to worry about. I am still under the powertrain warranty. It's near or just in front of the valve cover, but I don't think it's the valve cover gasket.

What do you guys think? I wiped some of the oil with my finger just to show the amount.

Timing chain cover. It's leaking. Get it fixed under warranty.

Thanks for the quick response. Will the Infinity dealer provide a loaner car? I live an hour away from the nearest Infinity dealership.

Should I swap my stock air tubes back on? During the warranty work? Or does the dealer really care.

Thanks! Any concerns with a tuned ECU? I can flash it back to stock, but really hoping I don't need to do that.
