You will need to provide more info than that. Have you identified what kind of "oil" it is? Have you looked under the car? Was the engine oil/filer recently changed? Did you have other recent service lately? Has a dealer looked at it? Engine and transmission are both "in back" so that is where engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant leaks will be found usually. Brake fluid can leak too. Maybe a photo of the issue? Etc.

Generally, leak requires a trip to the dealer. No matter what it is (unless its just spilled liquid from a recent service), a leak is best addressed by the dealer while under warranty, even if you know where it originates, and how to fix it.

If you're just idling, shouldn't be much wind pushing whatever is leaking out the back. Could it be sooty colored condensation coming out of the exhaust? You should be able to tell what it is by the color and/or smell.
