Doesn't appear to be dripping oil but I'll check in AM again.
Also check your oil level if you haven’t. I’d pull the throttle body and plenum and see if you still have pools of oil in your intake runners. If you do, just clean it out as much as you can and see how it runs after that. I doubt the shop took the time to clean up the mess the aos made when it failed, unless you specifically asked them to.

I know it’s frustrating, but if there’s not a leak at the bell housing, and there’s still oil sitting in your intake I’d say that’s still fair game to get it back on the road.
