Clean it off with either brake clean or carb cleaner. Try tightening it just a little and see if leak continues.

How many miles on your car? It could be eating oil.

That may be leaking, but it looks like they just got oil on it last time they changed the filter. If you had lost anywhere near a quart through that cover there would be oil everywhere.

These engines do burn oil. Some more than others, but having to add a quart between oil changes isn't that unusual.

Well that doesn't look like much of a leak around the filter cap...more like some oil dripped during a filter change. If you lost a quart that way, you would see some dripping.

You should get the car up on ramps or a lift and look around under there. Also, you haven't told us anything about mileage or how long it took to get down a quart.

With a quart, that should be pretty easy to find the leak. I would think it would be dripping on the ground. If not, then consumption. Let warranty from a different dealership take care of that.
