960 oil leak 900 1992

I recently bought a '92 960 and had a tune-up and oil change. Since then, I have a minor oil leak, not a biggie but enough to be odorous in the car when not moving. I spotted it slowly dripping onto the exhaust, thus causing the burning smell.

My mechanic is on vacation, so I drove it into Prompto just to have it checked and the guy down in the bay said it was coming from up in the engine and not something that they could fix.


Any thoughts on this? I don't know engines well enough to understand why a tune-up and oil change would cause this leak, especially if it is something that an oil change specialist couldn't spot.
