What might cause a sudden oil leak following an oil change and is the mechanic responsible for subsequent engine damage?

Improperly installed oil filter. Too tight, too loose, UN-lubricated gasket, or old gasket left on after removal. Also a drain plug loose or cross threaded. The shop would be responsible if you can prove it is their fault.
Sometimes even when the filter is taken off or the drain plug, the oil drips onto whatever is underneath it and can stay there until later. Some people will mistake it for a leak just because it wasn't properly cleaned off after.

How many mechanics required to change a wheel formula one?
3 for each wheel ... two for the wheels (new and old) and one for the air gun. The mechanic with the air gun is flanked by the two responsible for the wheels. As the mechanic with the air gun removes the wheel nut, the mechanic on his right grabs hold of the wheel. When the nut is off, the mechanic on the right removes the wheel and the mechanic on the left puts on the new wheel. The air gun mechanic replaces the wheel nut and raises his hand in the air to signify successful completion. The whole process should take 2 to 3 seconds.
