It's probably residual oil from the technician over poured the oil from the top and it leaked down. Same reason why I don't like taking my vehicle to the dealer for service

I’m guessing it’s from the seal to the oil filter. Take it back, get free oil change. That dealership is so big, you can’t blame the system for an individual mistake, however, if they don’t take care of it I would have a problem tho.

It could be from anywhere. Prior to changing the oil, I think it would be beyond prudent to get the truck up on a lift and remove enough under body sheet metal to see the bottom of the engine from the crankshaft pulley to the rear of the engine. Guessing where it might be will prolong the agony.

It was the pinched o ring from the filter. They gave me oil change. This dealer has some problems.
