Default 2016 Silverado Oil Leak

I have 2016 Silverado 1500 LT 4x4 with about 50k miles, I see oil leaking from an area by the bell housing. Has anyone else seen or experienced this?

Dealer confirmed oil is leaking, I saw it at the inspection hatch. Dealer called this morning & will be covered under powertrain warranty but because I have a lift kit it will cost me $300. Does that sound right?

what part is leaking? if the lift kit interferes with part removal resulting in more labour time, your paying for the additional time.

said they had to replace the upper oil pan, no sure why the lift kit matters here.
