Double oil leak

Double oil leak
Had an oil leak while driving, stopped car due to smell and large puddle of oil on the road. Still some on the dip stick and no damage done to engine.
Recovered to the dealers. I asked them to find n fix the leak and since it was with them, do an 80k service...car has done 77k miles.
The fault was a failed pipe to the oil cooler which they fixed. They did the service but after road testing the car they found oil on a plate? Under the engine. They can't see where it's coming from so they've cleaned it and are leaving it overnight to dry and going to start the engine in the morning to take a look.
My question...... What are the chances of two leaks? And could they have done something wrong during the service?
Just want some ammo in case they caused it. Will let you know the outcome but would appreciate thoughts.
It's a 2005MY XKR Coupe.
Thanks.

For your peace of mind, presumably the dealer is backing this diagnosis with some form of guarantee?
