If that is the windshield washer tank you probably have a crack somewhere on the side towards the top and when they changed the oil they also topped off the washer fluid and it slowly leaked out over night.

Just fill it back up and look for a leak.

I`ve had that happen on a few of my vehicles when i filled the tank with water in the summer and forgot to put in the blue crap in the winter and it froze and cracked it.

Check the plastic tank for cracks.

The front and rear washer pumps sit on the tank, with small hoses attached to them. Make sure that both pumps are seated down correctly and that all hoses are pushed in tightly.
