"While at this point warranty might be a moot point, can't hurt to talk to them." Said redmodelt.

At this point it can't hurt to verify what is actually stuck! Then talk to the builder if necessary.

I,m 90% sure it is the rear main. you can check that by dropping the pan and cap. This is not a new problem. You have to leave more clearance on the rear main or put a oil grove in the upper insert.
