Many others including me had the same thing happen. Application of sealant at the factory seems to be poor... I temporarily fixed the issue applying a small cord of sealant along the seam line. I also removed the top engine mounting bracket, as per recommendation from the Colombian distributor of the Rx3 (AKT). This worked fine for over 5000km with no new leaks.
Later I dropped the engine, remove the rocker cover, cleaned all the old RTV an applied it again; taking extra care in using just the right ammount and not leaving areas under covered, but I also didn't want pieces of excess sealant getting loose and cloging some oil passage. This was over 10000km ago and it has worked fine since then. My Rx3 is approaching 30000 km total.
