Default Brand New CRV Oil Leak

Hi all,

I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this. My wife bought a
2005 CRV a couple of weeks ago, and we took it back yesterday as it was
leaking oil in the driveway. When I looked under the car, you could
even see the wet oil. At the dealer, the advisor seemed suprised, and
he said he would talk to Honda Corporate next week and try to get a
diagnosis. His guys thought it may be a rear main seal, but they
weren't really sure. He also said he hadn't seen this problem in his
10+ years dealing with these cars. Of course, that's likely an
exaggeration. The car has 600 miles on it, and I really think it's
been leaking longer. I noticed oil spots earlier, but just assumed it
was from a leaky seal that I had on my car a few months back.

Has anyone here seen or heard of anything like this? I doubt the
dealer or Honda will be likely to give us a new car, but this is pretty
damn scary for a brand new car! Has anyone had similar experiences?
Thanks.
