Default Oil Leaking

I have an 12 Lariat Eco with the Rx catch can. After returning from a 900 mile run up 95 running 75/80mph most of time, I have an fairly large oil spot on my driveway which is on a pretty steep grade.
Does anyone else have this issue? Known cause? I'm pretty religious emptying my can at least every 500 -750 miles. It condenses up here in colder Pa fairly regularly.
I use Pennzoil full synthetic. I gave a K&N oil filter on it know.
It is still under warranty 21k miles. Bought it pre-certified with 12k on it last May. I'd like to here if other had any issues and identifued problem before I take back to dealer that put new battery in and had left positive post loose, like really loose.

I'm had/having leaking oil issues in like new Lincolns with the 2.7 and 3.5 EcoBoost engines in them. I have to use car mats to keep it off my garage floor. Which I was hoping to Epoxy.

Starting to regret staying in the Ford family with my latest F150. Luckily, I did get the extended warranty.

If they changed the oil, it's possible it is oil dropping from the catch pan under the oil filter.

Default K&N oil filter leaking

Resolution;
After removing the catch can system to avoid warranty issues as I thought it may be a turbo lube oil line. I took to dealer to drop the underpan and clean it.
They ran it and found the oil filter leaking. Even after tightening.
Had them put a motorcraft filter and change oil since it was due. I took them my Premium Pennzoil Synthetic, fixed a flat, cleaned underpan, washed it all for a $100
Not bad for a dealer prices.
No more leak.
