Two days ago I had the oil changed in my pickup and now it is leaking oil. Is it possible they didn't tighten the bolt very well. I'ts dripping non stop now, and if so can I tighten it myself without causing further problems?

Hi there,

What you will have to watch is that the thread is not already stripped, i would get back to the company that did the service and get them to rectify of re tighten the drain plug, that may have not replaced or omitted the seal as well.
