Unhappy 2001 Sienna went to get an oil change. Oil Plug loose, leak all the oil ...what now?

Just bought a 2001 Sienna LE minivan used from a private party. I figure let me get a oil change and stuff so I know when will I have to do the next oil change. Went to one of those mom and pop mechanics and they changed my oil. I drove out and about 5 blocks, my oil pressure light starting to flash and lit. I look underneath my Sienna and oil was dripping out. I quickly turned around and went back and they tighten the nut and refill about another 4 quarts of oil in it and said everything will be ok. So I drove off. Now when I am driving I hear engine noise (I think its lifters or valves) when in Drive or Reverse. When its in Park or Neutral its quiet. What should I do? Will a bottle of Slick 50 fix this or am I in DEEP TROUBLE. I had the car for less then a week. Its a 2001 Toyota Sienna LE with only 56,000 miles and I just paid $12,000 for it. Can anyone tell me what are my options?

Go back and complain to the oil change place. They caused the problem, they should fix it. 4qts is a lot to be low. When the pressure light comes on, that means bad things happening, you shouldn't have driven back with it on.

Take it back. they screwed it up. The engine only holds 5 quarts of oil or so. That being said there was pretty much none left after the oil leaked out.

A plastic washer was left behind. I did have problem once after DIY. A quick hand won't lose too much oil. Half qt is enough.
