drain plug leak

Got my car serviced at Kuno's in Redwood city, CA. Just changed my oil and after letting it sit overnight, noticed a few drops of oil on the ground coming from the corner of drain plug and oil pan. I replaced the washer, and I'm pretty sure i put it in the right way. I tightened to about 40-45 ft lbs already (i know it should be 33). but still drip drip... when i removed the old washer i noticed it was out of round. what should I do? did Kuno's damage the oil pan?

Just wondering why you didnt take it back. If they did the oil change they should cover it.
