It needs a gasket. Forget the gunk(goop in a can which is a short term fix-hopefully). Being a new car, that should be a warranty item.

Quick check: Is the leak in the front or rear?
What color and consistency is it? Dip your forefinger and thumb in it and rub it around.
- Clear and wet: Probably water. Have you been running your air conditioner? It could be simple condensation. Won't hurt to get it checked.
- Green or orange and tacky/sticky: Coolant/Antifreeze. You've got a bad hose, blown seal, or worse - a crack in your radiator. Take it in now! Do not hesitate!
- Clear gold, or opaque brown or black and oily: Motor oil. You've got an oil leak. It could be your oil filter is not screwed on tightly or other seals are loose. Take it in as soon as possible.
- Red and oily: Transmission fluid. This could be really bad. Your transmission (if an automatic) could be leaking. Tranny fluid is also used for your power steering and brake system. Do not dawdle -- push, pull, or drag your car in to be serviced.
