I had this same problem. The countershaft seal was replaced under warranty as part of my 500 mile service. I don't believe it is a very difficult job. There was no hassle, hesitation, or doubt that it was covered under warranty. (When I called the dealer about it, he said "Triumphs don't leak oil." When I said mine did, he said to bring it in because this was a warranty job no matter what it was.)
