Default rocker cover gasket leaking

i think my lower rocker cover gasket is leaking.
Should this repair be covered under my 2 year factory warranty?

Should be covered by the 2 year warrantly.

The dealership should consider any oil leak a serious issue, and not try to jerk you around.

If the leak continued it could become worse, causing fluid to accumulate on the frame, and maybe even end up getting blown back on your rear wheel.

+1 OFG hit the nail right on the head. Aside from the leak, there is a huge liability issue here. Don't let 'em blow any smoke up your **** either. They either fix it....or....they fix it. PERIOD
