Def not good, time to pull the cover and see some carnage.

Call the shop that did the work 1st, they may warranty it.

Don't touch it!! Take it back to them and tell them that you noticed that you noticed that it was leaking. They should check it for you. When they do, they'll find some (prolly) jacked-up gears. If you can, try to be there, while they are working on it.

Good luck, man.
