Actually, this is the news that I wanted to hear.  I apologize if this was 
a dumb question -- I often feel very much like a fish out of water around 
all the gearheads here, since I am not at all mechanically inclined.  I'm 
learning a lot just by lurking and reading, but I still don't think I'll 
ever really be comfortable using a wrench myself.

The local shop that installed the engine is one of Jasper's certified 
installation locations, and they can do all the warranty work, etc.  My 
fear was that somehow this leak would fall outside the bounds of the Jasper 
warranty, and then I'd be screwed.  I wasn't really sure how that would be, 
but, like I said, I don't really know a lot about this kind of stuff.  My 
immediate thought was that any oil leak from this new engine should be 
covered under the engine's warranty, but I just wanted some other opinions 
from people who know much more about this sort of thing than I do.

I would like to feel somewhat confident when I go into the shop, to be able 
to tell them that the engine is still under warranty and is having problems.
