Oil Pan Weeping/Slight Leak

Noticed a very slight oil leak a few weeks ago and it appears to be coming from the rear part of the oil pan. Got underneath, checked all the bolts on the pan and notice that a couple of them were slightly loose. Tightened them and hopefully that takes care of the issue. A couple questions:

1. Anyone else experience this on a 5th gen?

2. What are the torque numbers for the oil pan bolts?

No to question #1

Oil pan leak is very rare unless you hit something. I would check above the oil pan and make sure the oil is not leaking from valve cover.
