    Loose oil filter or nut on sump.
    Have you checked the above?

    I'd echo above, could be a loose oil filter, had a similar problem before myself.

    Take it back to the garage where it was serviced ASAP. If its a loose nut or filter there could be a danger that the engine vibration would cause it to get a lot worse very quickly. Check the engine oil level regularly until they can see you. Good idea to check the levels of other oils and fluids in the engine too incase its from those components. Clutch, Break, Power Steering and coolant I think pretty much covers it.

    Agree with all above. Also get them to check that the copper washer is on the sump bung, steel to steel doesn't seal well!
