Yes, it’s ambiguous, and therefore I don’t know which meaning is intended.

Yeah this is pretty Ambiguous (obviously meaning could have more than one meaning)
Grammatically speaking it doesn’t make sense either. In my own personal opinion i would read it as i didn’t see for a week since you left.
strange…

Either, I suppose. The sentence is rather awkwardly worded. It would be more common to say: “I haven’t seen him since I left there a week ago.”.

Quite ambiguous.
How about, ‘I didn’t see him until a week after I left there.’
