While having your shocks replaced, you noticed they were leaking oil. Your dealer inspected the brakes and found that your rear brake pads were soaked with oil, which can reduce braking effectiveness. The dealer did not perform the repair. This issue was noticed around 30,000 miles and may require replacing the brake pads and inspecting the shock seals to stop the oil leak.
