    Yes, it appears you have oil on your chassis. So I would be in agreement with you.

    Welcome to TW! Oil changes are a messy business. Kind of like sex, it's hard not to get a little on you.

    If the oil filter was taken down with out draining it with that tube thing they give you it makes a mess on my skid plate and would be pushed back by air when you drive if not all wiped up. Same with the oil pan when the plug is opened. Oil comes out fast and can splash.
    Wipe it up. Check your oil level and recheck in a day. If your oil level is the same you probably just got oil slopped down there.
