Evap. Leak?

So I took my car to the dealership to get an oil change. I look under the hood the next day and notice oil all over the valve cover. Now I have a CEL saying something about the evaporation system has a small leak. That is that? does it have to do with the oil or the oil change?

Take it back.

The only time I have ever had oil leak all over the valve cover was when I left the cap off but that was a different car.

Car does a pressure check for leaks every time you start it.
Part of the emission stuff to stop unnecessary fume loss to the atmosphere.
