As I said in my original post: "I then went back to the station and told the owner what I had found out and he then told the mechanic to put a sticker on my car. No argument and explanation as to why they rejected it in the first place."

The owner of the business took the proper corrective action to satisfy a customer so I don't have any hard feelings toward him. The owner has to take the word of his employees and if the customer doesn't complain, then he won't get involved.

I must note that if my car was dripping oil on the exhaust sytem then I would want them to tell me because that is a safety problem even though the procedure doesn't say that. However it wasn't doing that and was only slighting damp with oil around the gaskets and axle bearing.
Well that's one spin to put on it personally I don't agree. The owner knew what was going on and was caught by someone who gave a damn to follow up plain and simple. Did it ever occur to you that's why the sticker was put on so easily without any argument? If the mechanic felt there was a legitimate issue he/she should not (and doesn't have to) put the sticker on the car as it's their reputation and certification in jeopardy. That's the spin I put on the outcome.
