I was taking spark plugs out, is there any chance I put the socket on the wrong bolt and loosened it up with it being the same size as a spark plug?

I do not think so, nothing comes to mind that may be a concern, but then i do not know where you placed the socket either. Do you have a problem after changing the plugs?

Bad luck is my middle name. after plugs and wires were put in, I checked my oil it was so low I got nervous. I looked under the car, I did not know my oil pan gasket could leak that much. I thought by not being able to see the plug, I may have just put the socket on some lose to it and loosened it. I should have never done it at night. thank you for your response. I would recommend you guys everywhere.
