Oil Seepage at top of DIC

Hi, All!
I was hoping that you all could help me. (Anders, I would really appreciate your help here!)
I was adding some washer fluid today, and I noticed some oil seepage along the front top seam of the DIC. Wasn't a lot -- a few cc's along the front seam.
The DIC was replaced a few months ago (after failure at 51K miles) at the local Dealer as warranty. Upon seeing the oil, I noticed that the hex bolts holding the new DIC down were not very tight -- not even finger tight! I got a wrench and tightened them as best I could (can't find my socket kit now). I wipeed it up and plan to run the car a little bit and see if the oil returns.
Am I looking at a big problem, like gaskets? Do you think the Dealer didn't tighten the bolts enough, and that's it? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
- Bill
