problem after completed multiple recalls

I went to the dealer this week and done 3 recalls:
1. master cylinder cup
2. spring and lash adjustment
3. fuel pressure gasket

The car runs fine, but after one day, i started to notice there is new fluid stink on the ground where i park, and it's something new. It smells like engine oil. I am wondering could the dealer broke something during the recall that is related to the engine oil? I will hate to drive my car in and get another loaner. Thanks for your input.

If it smell like engine oil just keep driving it till the oil dry up on the engine block. Most member get that smell after there recall on the springs.

Thanks for the input Laobo979. I don't get the smell in the car, but i get the oil leaking out from the bottom of the car, is it ok?

I would put a piece of cardboard underneath or a oil bucket. See how much you get over night. If it's still dripping by the morning call your dealer.

i got the car back on Wednesday night, and it's Friday, and it still drips. Not a lot, but definitely dripping.

take it back to the dealer. They likely didn't put something back or didn't seat something properly

and tell them that they also broke your cabin filter door so they need to fix that too!

hahahaha.. hi embolism... Do you think that will work? They said they will tell me what they missed or what's wrong with the car. Do you think i should tell them about the cabin filter door?
