They only changed to oil...and I watched. It SHOULD only be residual.

I went to the dealer just to let them know and the tech that did the work came up. I explained to him what was going on...and the said heās sure itās residual oil from taking the filter off. He said he should have just taken the belly pan off. The service director came out and asked what was going on and I told him and he said the same thing. He ran my VIN and made sure it wasnāt under the oil cooler line recall. Then he said bring it in whenever I can and theyāll check it out.
If he didnāt use funnel on filter then small thinstreams of oil likely shot on top of the belly pan. Since the car remained relatively level the whole time that oil wouldāve just sat there. Iām assuming your garage floor isnāt perfectly level?I remember look at everything and not seeing any sort of issues.
I have had a filter come lose and an oil pressure switch. The OPS may look dry from the top but to really get a good look at it you will nee to remove the wheel to get up in there. It could be seeping on the back side. Albeit, if you have a seep under pressure you would probably smell the oil burning on the header. Most likely what you have is a left over mess. Unfortunately it is very common and why I do my own servicing,Since you can see the oil pressure sender/sensor from the top...I checked out and itās bone dry, so thatās good! I took a video with my phone with the light on and everything seems to by dry. Iām still gonna go to the dealer after work Friday just to be 100%.
