That is a simple fix why don't you jack the car up and see where the oil id coming from. It can only come from 2 places and both are easy access from underneath the car. Tigthen the drain plug with a wrench and hand tight the oil filter wipe the oil drippings. Add some oil and see if it drains again. It will take about 1/2 hr to do all this why the hell wait for Tuesday or Wednesday. Don't stress out over the damn thing just fix it and go back to the dealer later on and tell them what happened.

Got oil change at Infiniti at Serramonte. Just came back from the dealership today. The said I lost half a pint of oil, and it was due to a loose drain plug or something. They were really nice about it. No questions asked, immediately took it in with no appointment, fixed in 10 minutes, refilled my oil, and I was out.
