Well warm up the car and throuttle it up to 4000rpm for 15 sec. If it smokes like hell then one of your oil seals is bad. Because the car sit for so long the o-ring might of got dry and when you start it everything else was dry and it migh of nicked an o-ring. Did you drove it hard before the oil change?

Check your level before worrying too much. Since it was just changed, chances are that's the issue. If not, then maybe it's time for some Lucas...
