Default Help random oil leak

Was Just looking around under my car and saw this. Wtf

Ok so I got 53,000 miles on the car will the power train warranty cover this at Lexus?
What is this part and why would it be doing this?? I never seen a puddle or a drop on the garage floor.

Yes, it should still be under warranty. Bring it in now before it gets worse.

I had the same leak on my dads 2009 Toyota Camry and the dealer said it was the rear main seal. Thats where the engine meets the transmission. Cost my dad 0$ since it was still under warranty. His car had only 32,000 miles at the time. I am not sure if your gs is having the leak there to since the gs is rwd and the camry fwd.
