Default Lower unit leaking oil

Just got my boat back from getting new water pump, lower unit oil changed and noticed now I have a very small leak around the bottom screw of the lower unit. Is there an o-ring or some sort of seal thats needs to be replaced causing it to leak? Should I just take it back to the marine guys who serviced it or can I find what I need and do it myself?

If you paid your hard earned money for a mechanic to do this I would if its not a pain take it back. They should have checked this. Its easy to do but I HATE shody work especially when they are supposed to be xertified and I pay money to them.
