Could be either the filter or drain plug gasket. If the bottom cover is off, you should be able to see which it is.
IF it is the filter, they either overtightened it, or left the old O ring on, or the new O ring is not seated. (IDIOTS!) Lastly, some old oil that was drained ran along some chassis parts and is now dripping out because they did not clean up after themselves.
You should definitely go back and have them make it right. NO EXCUSES accepted!

By all means, make sure the drain plug and filter are tight, but don't I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they left the cover on...

Leaks are soooo fun...............!
I'd start with the cover. Make sure it's not floating
with oil......then check the wonderful dipstick making
sure it's all the way in. With the cover off you'll be
able to see where the leak is.......filter or drain plug.
I purchased my G from Glendale Infiniti but I haven't
been back since.......and won't!
