I recently had a dealership issue on my motorcycle. You only save 10 bucks when having tires replaced if you take them just the tire or the tire on the bike. So I just took them the bike to have my rear tire replaced. About 6 months later I was riding and all of a sudden lost my rear brake. Well you can pull a bolt on the rear caliper to rotate it out of the way to get the tire off. Boneheads must have just hand threaded it back on until they got the tire torqued and then forgot to torque the caliper. Thankfully front and rear brakes are independent on a bike and it didn’t cause me any issues.

Yeah, me neither. I've changed my oil after an hour's drive or more, but it never looked like that, and I've never had a reason to drain new hot oil. So I will concede it is probably oil, but dang, it got hot. Looks like colored water.
