Go back to the Dealer and scream till they fix it under warranty. That is so crappy but very common as they put the seal in wrong at the factory. We have seen hundred of these at every shop. You don't just tap one in and expect it to hold. There is a special procedure after all these failures!

unless you have a loose bolt (not very likely) then you're in for spending a lot of money. there is no fix other than replacement. none of the stop leak stuff will help you.
it may still be under warranty on that one,if its not covered that will cost about 500 to repair at the least you can get it done for,they have to pull the transmission to replace this,its a good little job on that one,but its not going to cost thousands to replace,some shops prices will be different but don't pay no more than 700 at the most for parts and labor,good luck with it,and have a good new years.
Rear main seals arent terribly expensive... 10 bucks maybe..





if you're mechanically inclined.. pull the engine. repair it your self.





(Good chance to check for other problems, too.)
