I've never seen a rear main seal fail that fast... but who knows, maybe it wasn't installed correctly from the factory and you are now just starting to see the oil leak? Anyways, warranty will cover it... so no worries.

This. The technician could be lying or just inexperienced. I've only seen rear main seals go out on abused aircraft and munitions towing vehicles; not fairly new vehicles so this is very out of the ordinary.
