Ecoboost oil leak?

I have noticed the last few times i have changed my oil that there is a drop or two of oil up high on the motor and i dont know where its coming from. I should have took pictures but didnt. Its on the rear of the motor and i have dismissed the idea of any oil from the oil change splashing up there. Same spot both times. It goes into the dealer on Wednesday for a look at it. Just thought i would see if anyone else had a similar experience. I noticed this early on in its life. The truck only has 17,000 miles on it now (2011 model). Any insight before i go would be appreciated.

Could be turbos, could be a seal on the engine, with that low mileage it's under warranty I'd just let Ford fix it.

very hard to diagnose without pictures

are you seeing a noticeable drop in oil level between changes?
If it was really leaking you would not just get 1 drop coming out.

No change in oil levels at all. Its just a drop or two that i see but it is slightly covering a small area that i clean up. I dont think it even finds its way down to the skid plate at all. Just stays up top.

without a serious change in oil levels you will have little chance of Ford doing any warranty repairs... IMO
