Upper Engine oil pan Gallery plug!?!

My 23 diesel had small oil leak . Dealer diagnosed as upper engine oil pan gallery plug leak. They ended up replacing the entire lower oil pan ( said it had some seepage to) and replaced the plug at the upper oil pan gallery . Got truck back and I’m still seeing some drips on the concrete after driving it 50 miles or so today . Called dealer and asked if it could be residual oil from the repair and they said it’s possible but they did a great job of cleaning the engine bay and under parts so I’m thinking that they didn’t repair it correctly . I’m going to drive for the weekend and see what happens . I degreased it myself to make sure . What is the upper pan plug galley? Thanks !

can’t answer your specific question but my 2017 psd has been in several times for upper oil pan leaks. The second time they admitted there was an issue with installation, they said their number 1 guy didn’t do the install. Pixxed me off because I waited for a few extra weeks so they could get their “number one guy” on it.
