Help! I'm scared!
Ok I just got my oil changed for the first time today, and when I pulled out of the garage, there are quite a few drops of old dirty oil on the floor? AHH!?!?! Whats going on? Just some left overs dripping off? Or should I take it back to the place that changed it? Am I an idiot? I DONT KNOW ANYMORE?!?!?!

Holy sh.it. Just get under there and tighten it yourself. Double check the filter too, but remember it doesn't need to be super tight. The heat will tighten it up.

i would go with what Excedio said. probably just old stuff from removing the filter dripping out. happens to me all the time. but i would at least get under there and see if you can tell where it's from. heck just drive back there and have them look at it. they should check it out for ya no questions asked.
hey.. this exact thing happened to me too, right after i took it to a oil change, when i pull out, i too see a few drops of oil on the floor, and i am guessing they are left over, but how long will it take for all the left over to go away? coz. when i check again this morning.. the number of drops has reduce to like 3 -4 drops. and they are directly under where the oil fliter is, so i am guess they really are left overs. hopefully it will not leak any more tonite. and i also check the oil level and the oil filter too , the oil level is good and the filter is tighten.. so plz wish me luck here..
ps. i too paid 7k for this car, hope i didn't get myself a bad car.. : (

Technically.... there is less mechanics involved in tightening a bolt. Although... I guess turning a door knob doesn't require any 'specialized' tools. "
this forum is just too funny if u pick a random thread, go down half way thru it and start reading everythign out of context

At least its just a lose oil plug or filter. I have a rear main seal that has seen better days. A month after i got my oil changed, i had to put 2qts in. 
And specialk, that avitar is ****ing hilarious. it reminds me of the time when i drop kicked a football and hit this girl cause she was making fun of how we kicked into the wind. she played soccer and told us she was better, so i got pissed, grabbed the ball, and drop-kicked it as they were walking around the track, and low-and-behold, it hit her right on the head. i didnt feel the least bit sorry:D
