I believe I have a similar oil leak. I have a 2025 FL5 with 5.2k miles on the odometer. I took it to a local dealership and had the car inspected. They couldn't identify the exact leak location, but suspect it is the oil pan as well. It seems very similar to @k20.dennis situation with oil on the upper bolts leaking down to the main drain plug.

Yeah, more than likely its the oil pan

Update:
Dealer is saying that their field tech has never seen an issue like this before, and will not replace the pan until they just do a reseal. I do not want to open the bottom end of this motor twice if a reseal doesnt fix it. From what you guys are posting, its a casting issue, not a sealant issue.

Mine said the same citing not wanting to waste a good part, which seems fair. Only couple hundred kilometers since my reseal but its holding for now.
You could always agree to it and request the tech takes a look at the oil pan to see if the casting seems flat/smooth.

Gotcha, I authorized them to go ahead with the repair. I will keep you guys posted.
