As long as the Oil Pressure warning light and/or Check Engine warning light never came on while you were driving the engine should be fine. Did you have it towed back to the dealer?

Unfortunately bad automotive service can happen to anyone getting their car serviced anywhere, even the dealer.

Sounds like it will be fine, it just drained out after you parked.

Cross threaded it or maybe over-torqued it. Either way good to know it should be fine.
