Well the car is over 18 so it's legal lol. Seriously check to see if when they serviced your car that they may have got oil on your xaust manifold or system someplace. Then check for coolant leaks. I doesn't sound like ti's to serious though. If fluids were spilled on teh exaust system it will go away rather quickly.
