2004 Chrysler Pacifica All Wheel Drive Automatic 89000 miles

Had my dealer change my oil and do a 16 pt check up. Later that day head out on a trip and my car started making a loud noise. I pulled over and had someone look at it and they said it was the exhaust manifold, and I had and exhaust leak and it looked loose and needed to be tightened, and some gaskets may need to be replaced.

Of course the dealer claims not to have "touched" the exhaust system, but I find it very odd it just happeded immediately following a trip to them. Thoughts?

Hi:
the manifold usually isn't part of a general inspection unless there already is a leak. If they would have loosned it, chances are you would have heard it when you first started it.
