Default oil leak?

took my car in to get wheels put on and the oil changed while i was there and they had it on the lift anyways, so they did the dealership inspection sheet and the box for fluids was marked yellow *theres green yellow red* then in the comments it says oil leak....they replaced my drain plug they said my old one was getting worn out and the threads were bad so they put a new one in for me, is there any way they could just be mistaken about the oil leak and somehow got oil somewhere from the oil change and thought it was a leak? ive had the car parked for weeks in my garage and theres no oil on the garage floor....would a bad drain plug be the cause? i hate thinking about my car leaking oil...but like i said, i didnt see anywhere that it had leaked in my garage...

Default RE: oil leak?

yeah if the gasket on the drain plug was muffed up then it would leak...maybe someone spilled oil while they were filling it...if you have had it parked and there is no oil leaking then your more then likely safe.
