Default 2016 Mustang GT Oil/Water Leaking from Everywhere

I recently bought my Mustang and got its first oil change the other day. A day or so after I got it back, I noticed some leaks under my car. Thinking it was just from being cold, I ignored it. Tonight, I drove my car into town and back, and left it running in my driveway. I notice some water drips on the cement and I see a huge puddle from directly underneath my car and under the mufflers

(just going to mention, there was some oil on some parts right underneath the oil filter, and spray on the inside of my rim as seen below).

Prior to having my oil changed, I had zero leaks whatsoever! Can someone shed some light on this for me? It would be greatly appreciated!
PS When I turn the car off (hood up) I hear what sounds to be water dropping, kinda like a leaky sink. Also see what seems to be some sort of drop next to engine on pipe. 2016 Mustang GT Oil/Water Leaking from Everywhere-photo716.jpg2016 Mustang GT Oil/Water Leaking from Everywhere-photo744.jpg

I have no idea why the photos I uploaded turned out blurry and pixely. Not like that on my phone...

Maybe the oil drips were from not cleaning up after taking the old filter off, or the new filter was not installed properly and is leaking oil.

Not sure about the water. Was the a/c on?

The oil drip is likely from not wiping up after the filter was changed. The water is likely from the AC and that is normal. Water dripping out of the exhaust is also normal in the morning.

Thanks for the replies. Im almost certain the AC wasn't on. I will check today and have the air off and see if it drips. I know you will have a little water from exhaust on a cold start up in the AM but after driving it for over 30-40 min water still coming out the exhaust and from underneath, didnt seem right.

If you are unsure, take it back in...being a 2016, everything will be warranty.
