It is not unheard of for oil pan bolts to loosen over time.

It is also possible some oil splashed up during the oil change.

Take a socket wrench and make sure none of them are loose. (Not sure if they are10 mm)

It looks like some may have splashed above and settled in that spot, I'd clean that area and check later to see if it reappears.

About 6 months ago I noticed a couple of drops of oil on the floor, it turned out to be the oil pan bad gasket....the dealer fixed the issue under warranty.

update: when I brought the car to the dealership, the mechanic said there was no leak lol, I pointed to him that I showed to him the leak on a picture that I took. While the car was on the car hoist lift I pointed to him the area of the leak, he then said its nothing it may need to be tightened only but also said at you next oil change we will check it again to see if it leak and then we may have to change it if its still under warranty lol, my warranty is over in 3000km lmao.

I know its a use car but while at the dealer I realize since I bought the car I have been at the dealership a lot of time lol, my coworker pointed out that he has never been at the dealership that many time while he drove his 2003 chevy truck
