    I'm due for my first service and I'll be changing my own oil for peace of mind.

    I hate to hear that. Yet another reminder after any maintenance (especially if someone else does it) to keep an eye out for any problems.

    Could have been residual oil dripping off of canister. Could've sprayed it with brake cleaner. But it' s good you have spare canister. When my truck was brand spanking new it needed its power steering rack changed. I took off the skid pan before I brought it to them. You just have to be your advocate when its your stuff. Its like that with any and everything. No one gives a flying fuck.
