Why is this date calc reporting leak ?

Code:

- (NSDate *) addDaysToDate:(NSDate*)startDate :(int)daysToAdd{
	
	// set up date components
	NSDateComponents *components = [[NSDateComponents alloc] init];
	[components setDay:daysToAdd];
	
	// create a calendar
	NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc] initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];
	
	NSDate *newDate = [gregorian dateByAddingComponents:components toDate:startDate options:0];
	return newDate;
	
	[gregorian release];
	[components release];
	[newDate release];
}

Called to populate an NSDate property of my custom search criteria class. The addDaysToDate method lives the the appDelegate, just for ease of calling

Code:

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSDate *startDate;
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSDate *endDate;

Code:

	self.startDate = [NSDate date]; // Todays date
	self.endDate   = [UIAppDelegate addDaysToDate:self.startDate :30];

When addDaysToDate is called with instruments in leak mode it reports
icu::GregorianCalendar
icu::NumberFormat
icu::SimpleTimeZone
NSDateComponents
NSCFCalendar
