I have heard lots of people have problem with the rear seal leaking. It is very common. Yesterday I was under my car and keeping my fingers crossed - no leaks.
I do not believe it is covered under a Recall so I hope that you still have your warranty...
I found this on the WEB looking under rear seal leak C5
The dealer finally told me that they did some research on my car (2001 zo6) & came up with a TSB stating that there are burrs sometimes found on the housing where the seal sits.
Search the threads you should find more info...

leaking trany?
If there is a TSB on the leaking trannys because of burrs found which are ruining the seals,shouldn't this defect be covered by chevrolet/GM as a defect? My tranny is leaking ,non daily driver and after only 35k miles I strongly feel that GM's Flagship should not have this fauit occuring. Can anyone let me know if there is a TSB then will they fix it at no charge ??

After opening up my tranny, I am fairly confident that the leaking is the seal between the main part of the tranny and the rear smaller part of the tranny (which is basically RTV). I'll take a picture. Mine didnt seem to be leaking from the input shaft. And it probably isnt leaking from the output shaft if you dont have gear oil from the diffy mixed in.
