Default 1st service- 20 hours 15 hours later oil leak

Had the 1st service done about 15 hours ago, oil is starting to leak from the head gasket on the right side towards the front of the bike. They had to remove the head for the 1st service to adjust the valves right? Is this something I should bring back to have em fix? If not is there a lot getting the head off?



***EDIT
I bought the quad with 10 hours on it, the dealership did the 1st service before i bought it, the 1st time i took it out i thought i smelled the slightest hint of oil but my friends said it was jsut some water burning on the exhaust, then i noticced it more and more over the past month, i checked it out yesterday and theres an obvious leak.

I would of had it back at the shop before it cooled off. Does not sound like a major problem...but let them fix it.

they didnt pull the head,,,just the valve covers

they may have removed the little little screw on the round cam cap (right side) to be sure that oil was flowing to the top end

where exactly is it leaking?? is it just flowing out all over??? or is there just a suspicious oil stain??

like said before,,,,bring it back to where it was serviced if it is serious
