Well... I would start by looking at the 2 plastic elbows to see if they are cracked or not seated right... but if those look fine then it could be something more serious. I would tell the valvoline place about what happened even though they prob wont claim any responsibility

Ok so i took a picture of the leak. Its coming from the little black elbow dealie below the alternator. I kinda jostled it a bit and nothing happened. Just kept a slow dribble going. Also it only leaks visibly when the car is off.

That's all you do. Might want to put a touch of soapy water on the o-ring so it lubricates it while you put them on.

Don't want to use something too slippery though since you don't want it to pop out easily. Soap will dry

Then you'll need to fill your fluid back up.
