I have a 2010 SS and there is oil leaking under the fuel pump on the right side of the valve cover, is there a TSB on this, anyone else have this, looks like where the camshaft is.

there is a secondary on the engine.

From All Data:

The 2.0L turbocharged engine uses a direct injection fuel system that operates at very high fuel pressures. A direct injection fuel system produces a rapid, clicking and ticking sound that can be heard from the engine compartment. The sound is more evident when outside around the vehicle or when the hood is open. The sound is more noticeable during idle, and is more frequent during a cold start but lessens once the engine is warm. The rapid ticking noise on cold start up is the fuel pump, which is located on the rear of the cylinder head building up high fuel pressure. When the engine warm-up is completed, the high pressure fuel pump will continue to tick at a lower rate of approximately one tick per second during idle. The clicking sound are the fuel injectors pulsing on and off under higher fuel pressures. These sounds are the results of a normal direct injection fuel system operating properly.

Yes...take it in. I had the same thing happen...it's the cam cover seal above the fuel pump. They will also replace a fuel line part.

Here is the info:
