It might not be leaking at all since you just had some work done on it. There might have been air still in the system when they handed it back to you as done. Every time I do work on the system, I make sure the coolant bottle is completely filled when I finish because I know that when the engine cools, the vacuum will start pulling coolant back into the radiator/block.
