oil leak

Hey this might sound like a dumb question. I recently took the car into the shop to replace the AOS and also changed the oil since the car sucked up most of the motor oil. When I brought the car home, I've noticed a small drip of oil. I thought it was just a loose drain plug or filter. The shop told me the next day that it is the RMS that's leaking. I know the shop used 10qts of oil for the oil change while the manual stated 9-9.3 qts max. My question is could over filling cause a leak or would it possibly be the RMS failing? I have a '01 Boxster S manual with 80k miles. The drip is coming from the center. It is a very slow drip and goes away when the car has been parked for an extended amount of time. I only see it leak after I drove the car for a bit. The car did not have a leak before the whole AOS incident. Do I just have the best luck in the world or could this be something simple? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
