Might have to drop the pan to see if the old filters gasket came off. Double gasket, if I remember correctly, can cause this issue. Possibly the new gasket is not seated properly as well.

Check the fluid level.

Do this first

Then if the fluid level isn't the case, the pan needs to come off. I assume since you said "had the filters changed" and not "I changed the filters" that it was done by someone else. Common problem is that people can't get the rigid o-ring for the big filter out or don't know any better and try to jam the new one in on top of it (see the arrow on the left).
