Check for stains in the valve cover gasket on the side of the oil filter, and in the engine block right above the filter. There is not much that can leak on that side, other than filter itself, and you already checked it. You HAVE to take the car to dealer for warranty inpection, and repair. The issue not only has to be covered by warranty, but by not doing so in time, it might void the warranty, for being careless about it.
Step 7: Loosen oil filter. Collect oil when draining and dispose of properly. (Attached to the side or bottom of engine) 
Step 8: Install new oil filter hand tight. Lube the rubber O-ring on oil filter with motor oil, and make sure the O-ring from the old filter is not still on the oil filter connector. 
Step 9: Pour correct amount of new motor oil into engine. 
Step 10: Check for oil leaks from drain plug or oil filter.
Step 11: Turn on engine and continue to check for leaks. Tighten oil drain plug or oil filter if necessary.
Step 13: Lower vehicle from jack and stands or ramps.

Wabbit2, appreciate reply. It appears to be under oil filter side of engine. Color of leak is light clear yellow. Seems to match oil color used in engine. Seems to accumulate over night. Car is still under warranty, do you think issue might be covered by warranty? Thanks, Dave
Do not live with it, problem will only get worse. Info provided is not enough for any guesses. Where exactly is the leak on floor? below tranny? below crankcase? by the radiators? what type of oil is it? what color?
