I was in the same situation wanting the free oil changes but definitely leery of dealer service. Went ahead and got them but always, always checked for obvious mistakes afterwards before driving away. Dipstick replaced, oil leaking from underneath, oil spilled on engine, oil level at proper level, etc. Then check underneath for oil leaks in my garage for the next couple of days of use. When warranty was up I got myself hooked up with a great shop that does great work.
As for the original posters issue I’m just kind of scratching my head why a big puddle of oil wasn’t noticed under the rig when picking it up. Even the shop people should have seen it after he drove away.
In any case a really bad situation for the OP. I hope it gets worked out correctly for him.
