Technition said I had an Oil leak..
So I got my oil changed today and he said that I have an OIL LEAK... wtf. He then said I would need to 'overhaul the engine' to fix it. Also he mentioned that the Cover below the Oil Filter will fall off sometime while I'm on the highway or something so I should remove it. Anyone had any information about this cover below the Oil Filter that bolts up? What should I do about this Oil leak he mentioned?

as far as oil leak and engine overhaul - where did he say the oil was leaking? an engine overhaul is all internal, and any external leaks would not require an engine overhaul... common things to leak engine oil and the oil pan, drain plug, front and rear main seals, oil pressure switches, and valve cover gaskets... not so common are head gaskets and oil filter housings...
Depending on the leak, it would probably be a good idea to pressure wash all the residual oil off the underside of the motor and put some UV dye in the oil... run it for a day or two and check it for leaks - then report back...
