It might not be a leak, some of the new cores have a coating that may 'burn off' the first few times that the vents are open. Remember, coolant always flows through the heater core even if you do not demand heat. I would wait a few weeks before bringing it back to the shop.

It wouldn't be difficult to remove the kick panel under the dash and then the side panel next to the gas pedal, allowing you to check for a leak.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
