The mechanics response would be, "No matter how insignificant it may appear, tell me "everything" you touched because therein lies the problem."

As parochial as this appears, with pencil & paper write down every item you touched, (mainly those you know did not cause this problem), & re-check same.

It will always be something so simple.

Hope this helps.

O how true. It happened all the time when I was working on cars for a living. Bad thing is they would not want to look bad, so many times they would not tell all the story.
