The shim is under the head. Remove the bolts holding the head to the engine and the shim is located under it. It creates a seal between the sleeve and the head of the engine. First, I would try to tighten the head bolts. They could be loose causing your leak.

If the car is new, it sounds like it may be very rich. Be sure to read your manual so you understand tune.
Tighten the glow plug down snug. Don't over do it, the head is aluminum so it can strip but don't be afraid of it either.
