I had my repair for excessive oil consumption performed in july, my first oil change was the other day and i noticed several significant oil leaks on both ends of the oil pan including a leak from the rear main area. The dealer told me to bring it in tomorrow and they will repair it. He said it only takes 2 hours. That sounds like it is for the oil pan only to me. My car was bone dry underneath prior to the repair. And during the repair they never mentioned and oil leaks needing addresed. I am concerned they will say its the rear main and or oil pump seal and not their fault. But they can repair it for xxxx-thousands of dollars. Has anyone with the consumption repair done experienced and follow-on oil leaks afterwards?
It's their fault. The rear main seal was defect..
I had the exact same problem in September with the oil dripping all over my driveway. The dealership did the recall on lower unit due to oil consumption. They said it was a defective rear main seal.
Here are the pictures. They should fix it and provide a loaner car to you for free of charge.

I took my car in to a local shop for the first oil change after the repair. They told me I have a couple possible leaks. Will call dealer to have them do a test for oil leak. They should be able to add a dye to see if there is a leak or if it is just oil from the repair. They returned my car with a very dirty engine but I had them clean it up before I drove the car home. My repair was also in July with the same dealer as you... I hope they stand behind their work this many months after the original service.
They said it was not their fault. They said it was leaking when i brought it in, which was not true. My car was always leak free. I also noticed the the drain plug was leaking on my first oil change after the recall was performed, again their fault. I got under the car with the mechanic and service agent and pointed out the leaks, they simply said "not from us, we told you it was leaking when you brought it in for the repair" I don't remember them saying anything to me, and if they did i would have thought they were BS'ing me, because it did not leak. I did not want to get into a pissing contest so i left. I am thinking about selling the car after I perform the repairs myself.
