Oil Leak after Drive Thru Oil change

I had the oil changed yesterday on a 94 F150 I bought about a week ago because I didnt know when the last time it was done and it had been sitting for a while.

After I left the oil change place I parked it at a family members house and when I left after a couple of hours there was about 1/2 to 1 quart of oil on his driveway and also drip marks from when I pulled in. I checked the level and it was ok so I drove it home which is about 18 miles and parked it overnight. Now this morning I went to check it and there is no oils drips under it.

The tech at the oil place said they had a hard time getting the filter off and I read online that maybe the old gasket didnt come off and there may be 2 gaskets on there now leaking but that doesnt explain it not leaking now. Plus the filter is too tight for me to get off by hand. I will have to buy a tool to get it off.

Any Suggestions.
