Couple issues 2016 Pro

2016 Trd Pro.
I have 4900 miles currently.
I have a TINY oil leak starting right behind the power steering pump area. I've done a little research and I THINK it may be the timing cover ( pass side ). Unless there's a common other leak I'm not aware of in that area??
It's a very minor leak currently and would best describe it as "sweating" right now but it's definately the start of a leak.
I was wondering how common a timing cover leak is??

Other issue is not really an issue just something I noticed and not a big deal. The Phillips screw located between the airbox and firewall that bolts the horn to the fender is 1/2 way out. Again not a big deal but I was wondering if anyone else had this? Usually production errors occur on many vehicles and not just 1.

Are you the original owner? Either way take it in to Toyota, if it is a leak it'll be covered under the factory warranty.
 
Yes purchased brand new, I'm aware it's covered I'm just trying to see how common this may or may not be

I have seen a few different leaks here and there, but nothing I would define as common. Especially at your millage. Do not touch it, and take it to the dealer. If it appears to be "sweating" there is a good chance that the dealer will do nothing for now, so make sure they document the hell out of it for later.

Thanks
I didn't plan on having them address it until I see oil dripping...I know the drill
The reason I ask is there is a TSB for 05-15 Tacoma and figured it's basically the same engine however the TSB does not cover 4Runner and I haven't seen too many people mention it so far.
