Last time I had a oil change they dripped some oil on my engine. When I drove it back uphill it started steaming and it smelled bad. If you want to be risky, see if you can drive it off.

what the hell is a rear main seal... ?
Rear crankshaft seal on motor. Looks like a cam seal, but larger diameter. Big pain to replace.
