Well, $500 was for the labor, there was another $400+ in parts, so with
sales tax and all it was around $1,000. A little cheaper than the
dealer, but not a lot cheaper than the dealer. The independent shop
seems to have a good reputation, but the car may end up at the dealer
because I don't want to ignore this leak.

I don't know that the independent shop caused it, but something they did
either caused it, made it worse, or the timing was terribly coincidental.
