9000 miles on the clock and DCT leak

Just discovered a very, very minor DCT leak on my '10 35is. Not enough to wet the pan, just around one of the trans bolts. Very suprised at this amount of miles on the clock. No track use at all. I know this is common but is it OK for the DCT to leak a little?

Has anyone driven with a small amount of oil leaking out and been OK for a while as I don't think it's worth fixing ATM (out of warranty)?

Not a big deal, I replaced a new dct pan cover under warranty, but then very small amount of oil leak still occur afterwards

Yeah I had the bolts tightened to see if that will help at all.
Car shifting etc normally.

I'd strongly advise all DCT-owners to check their vehicles for a leak. You need to physically remove the trans cover under the car to properly do this as I have read it often won't be enough to leak out. I would inspect this whether or not you are under warranty.
