Default I hate my ford dealership

I took my car (04 Mustang GT) to the dealership where I bought it from to get the oil changed last week. This is the second time they have changed the oil. I would usually change it myself but since I got the car though them I get $10 oil changes. Not bad, it beats doing it myself and I save a few bucks. Big mistake !! Now I have a little oil leak/drip. I have had this car for 6 months and it has never leaked a drop of oil. After doing a little inspecting it looks to be coming for the drain plug but I'm not a 100% sure. I can't get under the car far enough to get a good look. I did check the plug to see if it was tight and it was. I will be taking the car back to the dealer to have them check it and hopefully they will fix it for free. I'm sure I will get some b.s. saying is was already like that. Sorry to bore you guys I just needed to rant.

Take it back to them and tell them, they should fix whatever they did, probably just needs a new gasket on the plug....

go to any part store and tell them you need a drain plug for your model car and the gasket will be on it. the dorman(motormite) part # is 090-161. most of your part stores (advance, orielly, autozone, car quest) all carry dorman products. the cost will be around 3 dollars.

Send me 15 bucks to buy 6 more quarts of oil :P. I'll see if taking pics while the bolt is in shows or not. As a matter of fact I have a vid of my steering rack maybe it shows my bolt.

Edit: No it doesnt, ill take a pic tomorrow
