Default Oil Around My Block and Heads

I Have a question my car is a 2002 Z28 Camaro with a 80 series flowmaster only. My question is my car has 5643 miles only and there is already oil coming out from the center of the heads and the block. Its just a little it looks like grease or oil its towards the front of the block it started around 2000 miles or so. I have used degreaser but it still is coming out. Thanks very much!!!

Take it in to the dealer - it is covered under warranty. Make them fix it!

Yes take it in, but it is pretty un-likely for oil to come out between the block and the head (anti freeze yes oil no). the oil drains back down in the head at the top.. Closer to the valley cover, and it is under no pressure at that point. It might be leaking out the valve covers and just accumulating there. they should do a dye check for you. They do sell kits at autozone to find leaks yourself. It comes with dye and a black light. but I would try and get GM to do this first.
