Which subjunctive?

I think I left the oven on.

Creo que deje / dejara el horno encendido.

I know the second clause contains a subjunctive as per the uncertainty, but I'm not sure which tense to use. I thought one should only use the imperfect subjunctive when the first clause contains the preterit or imperfect. However, the present subjunctive doesn't sound right nor does it match up well with the English version.
