Default Oil leaking after service

Hi all,

Just had my 2012 Cayenne serviced as it has just tipped to 120k miles and required an oil change so figured I’d give it a more enhanced service.

I noticed oily substance in my driveway after the service and the oil level going down. The substance is coming from the front left of the vehicle (RHD).

does anyone know what the issue could be, I’ll be into the garage this morning to take a look as there were zero leaks pre service.

any advice / comments are appreciated

thanks

I'd definitely look at the filter cap. If they didn't correctly locate the o ring those can leak also. If they didn't tighten the little allen drain from the filter cap, that can leak.

So basically check everything touched during oil change

most likely something simple, I wouldn't sweat it.
