I decided to check to see if some oil spattered on the driver's side rotor. I reach my hand through the rim and around the rotor…except my fingers don't go around the rotor, they go through the vent, and a bunch of rusty chips fall out. Great, so I need new rotors too…

Well, as it happens, the leak was just a hole punched in the oil filter. That's the best news I've had all day.

I'm also saying that it was good luck overall, as I discovered the insides of my rotors were rusting BEFORE I hauled a trailer back from Tennessee. The shop just called and my truck has a brand-new set of forged rotors. They should hold up to towing just fine.
