Interior lights keep going off!

Hey guys, i got an oil change done the other day and as i drove on the highway i started seeing alittle smoke so i pulled over and opened the hood and a bunch smoke shot up. As i got back into the city going home it eventually stopped and hasnt come back since. Later that day i got into my car and my cluster lights, temperature lights and audio lights were all off but my nav was still working. My lights are on auto and whats weird is if i switch them manually the cluster lights come on but then i have no headlights. I cant make my temperature lights work at all but my audio still works but i cant see any visuals. I took it to the mr. Lube where i got the oil change from today and it turns out some oil leaked out onto the bottom part of the engine but nothing spilled onto the engine bay. The guy was really confused as to why it didnt leak anywhere by the engine and only the bottom. Anyway the oil level was actually perfect and they washed all the oil off for me. He didnt know why the lights inside keep going off and told me to check online and told me to come back in a couple days if the problems persists. It seems like a loose fuse to me or maybe smth burnt. What do u guys think seems to be the problem? Any help is appreciated.

sounds to me like something shorted out. Where was the smoke under the hood coming from? Exact location...

It does sound like something shorted out but more than likely the smoke was coming from the oil burning on the motor, especially it leaked a decent amount.
