I got up near the filter and drain plug, and saw that one of the bolts on my oil pan was black with oil. There was no oil drops on my garage floor, so I was mostly baffled under there for a few minutes. Poked around and found it was coming from the oil cooler. SUPER TINY LEAK! Anyway, found the TSB here on this great forum, brought it to the dealer today, and it'll be there until tomorrow. Just an upgraded gasket according to them.
Had to share being that I just about cried when I saw it! Everyone should change their own oil! lol
Oh, and here's a link that I found that looked EXACTLY like what I saw:

We miss you soundwave. Thanks for the heads up. We've both changed our own oil, and didn't experience this leak. Plus have had both our cars up on the lift many times for inspection/upgrades. I just wonder how common this problem is.
I did have a coolant leak on mine. It was a hose clamp that needed to be tightened.
