The car is level and it was level for the oil change.

The oil change was done with the car warm (not quite up to the normal op temperature)

I did not wait any time after the drive. I will check in 15 or so minutes.

Another note. My last oil change was with a local indy who installed the LN magnetic plug. I removed the plug and there was no crush washer unless it washed out of with the oil. I ran my finger in the drain hole and there is no washer. Wouldn't I have had a leak for the past 12 months if the plug was installed without a crush washer?
