How much oil was on the floor? Was the oil that was on the floor, smack dab in the middle of the car or closer to the passenger rear tire. If closer to the tire it is most likely the AOS or a bad bellows. A bad AOS can also lead to a cracked oil filler tube because of the back pressure. It will be fairly easy to spot. May need to get it up on jacks, put the top in service position, remove engine cover and remove the right rear tire to get a closer look (especially at the bellows.) I did my AOS, bellows and oil filler tubes last month, fairly easy to do. Should be able to see also if they failed to connect the oil filler tubes correctly when they where working on the reservoir. Good luck and keep us posted.
