Maybe you've had the leak for awhile, but this shop used the correct oil viscosity for your engine and previous changes used a heavier oil which didn't leak as readily.

I know the leak just started because I can see the oil drops on the garage floor. Its at the back of the vehicle in the center of the vehicle between the back tires. Is there a worse case senario for this? I've got at least another 1000 miles to cover from Mon thru Wed.
