Oil Leak from timing chain cover?? 2013 Vantage

Hey Guys

I noticed oil drop from front part of the engine. When I checked it I've found good amount oil drop from timing cover. Luckily my warranty will cover the repair(currently car is at Galpin Aston Martin) I thought new 4.7 engine didn't have this problem. Only have under 6k mile on my car.
Has anyone else have this issue?

Sorry about your oil leak, GALPIN is a good choice. Who is your service writer ?
I work with John.

I'm not paying for it, still under factory warranty. I'll ask service adviser how much they charge $$$$ when I pick up the car.

First case I've heard of on the 4.7L. I'll be curious as to what they find when they open it up.

I purchased a 2013 Vantage, pre-owned, that had the timing cover leak fixed.

Is this a known problem on the 4.7, especially in 2013?
