    The dealer will likely claim the engine or one of it's external components was leaking before the frame work.

    Venturing a guess, there could be an oil hose/line somewhere that did not get fastened properly, but as Blockhead said, take it back and see where all of this lands.

    I guess the frame swap did not include the vertical cross-members I see in the first photo.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I wonder if they over filled the front differential. Definitely take it back to the dealer.
