Default Oil leak- 2021 GX

Seems odd here given the newness of the vehicle and at 13k miles. Was on a trip and ran low of washer fluid. Stopped into a Lexus service center that was out of state and while they were topping off the fluid they checked my oil. The advisor said it was really low and that I might have a leak. He topped the oil fluid off and I called my advisor at my home city. I’m going to come by in a few days to see if the oil level has dropped indicating a leak. Seems odd though to have a leak and certainly odd given that I just got the oil change at 10k miles. Anyone else have this issue with newer GXs?

To start, I would check the drain plug and oil filter housing for leaks.

My first question would be " did the dealership underfill the engine oil when it did the oil change?"
I always double check the oil level after any service.

This is a very likely reason for your low oil level.
