1999 Chrysler Cirrus Front Wheel Drive Automatic unk miles

my wifes car has a sudden oil leak
she thinks it is from the oil change that occured at the start of the mounth. Now if the filter or the drain plug was loos would it not have started leaking right then the next day or in the shop where it was done. is there any thing besides the obvious i should look for. one other thing she say she thinks she can smell it through the heater when it runs

if the filter or bolt wasnt tightened enough it could have taken time to loosen up.

where do you notice the oil. ground or does it seem to be burning up.
