Usually, on the rear mains seal leaks you would see oil coming from the weep hole at the front of the trans.
Looks more like a valve cover gasket leak.
The trailer wiring probably caused your problem.
I would remove the added on harness.
The brake lights are controlled by the Body Control module via transistors.
When these transistors detect a short, the will shut power off to that circuit.
I don't know if the GAP tool has this feature. But...
The sprockets fail due to poor machining of the housing. There's a weak spot at one of the fasteners.
Oil changes and coolant quality has no affect on their life span. Does not seem to be failing on, but a few vehicles.
Low fuel levels will cause the pump to run hot.
Your vehicle has a "saddle type" fuel tank. So, fuel is siphoned out from the left side and dumped into the right side.
The fuel pump is on the right side.

They probably didn't suck all the old fluid out of the reservoir before doing the flush.
That type of failure to the cam sprockets are not uncommon.
A rattle on cold start ups that goes away after a few seconds is an indication of eminent failure.
I really don't see metal flakes in the oil.
Maybe change the oil a couple of times every 500 miles.
Best thing to do is send an oil...

Jack the motor up from the right side, this will give the room needed to remove the pan.
That connector is for the battery saver module. Used during shipping.
The battery saver module is removed when the pre delivery inspection is performed.
There are two of these elbows, Both in the front foot well area, Driver's side is up about 12" above the dead pedal. Right side is right next to the fuse box. Pull the right kick panel cover for better access.
