First thing to check is the flame trap. If this is clogged, it increases the pressure in the crank case and can send oil out the weakest seals.

Since you just had the oil changed, you should check to see if the filter and plug are on tight enough. Of course, be careful with the plug, you DO NOT want to strip this.
