they did do the gasket and seal but today I took it to work over 70 miles round trip and it's not leaking right now, maybe it was residue?

This happened to me. Brought the car home and found a drip on garage floor the next morning. I wiped that up and crawled under to wipe down the differential and check the plug: plug was tight. Not a drop since.

Keep an eye on it. The service department should have completely cleaned off the area where it was leaking in the first place. You may want to do that and then see if it leaks again.
