Ok I went to get my tires done and I must say I am very glad I did the 
car drives much much better.

Anyway while I was there they said that the rear brakes are very close 
to having no pad on them I will agree with them on that one but what I 
am concerned about is they said the rotors needed replacing. I see no 
visible signs of damage and nor do they feel funky when I brake the car. 
I am just wondering if they are trying to sell me something I dont need. 
I do not know when the last time the car had rotors the car has 116k 
miles on it. Please advise on what to do I really dont want to fork out 
cash for BS things.

BTW while I was there they let me go back and investigate the car for 
the oil leak "yay" it looks like its coming from the oil sensor. I am 
wondering if this is a probable place for 1 quart or so of oil to leak 
out per month. When clean the oil was only dripping from one spot and 
that seems to be the spot. I can take some photos of it if needed and 
show you guys but this is where it looks to be coming from after cleaning.
