I could tell the whole bunch was not to happy with seeing this car back or me. Last thing I told them is its under warranty, it's leaking, fix it!
This might be why you're getting trouble from the dealership. If you're coming off as aggressive and 'know-it-all' they're not going to warm to you. It's the same if someone went up to you at your job and said that you know nothing and they know more than you... but you've got to fix the issue that they couldn't despite being better than you.

If you're friendly, the vast majority of dealerships in my experience will be helpful in return. If a dealership is genuinely incompetent just change to a different one. I've had BMW(!) charge me less than quoted for work, and other dealerships squeeze me in on short notice just by letting them do their job and being friendly.

A dealership often has to go through a set diagnosis procedure to get warranty work approved. It's common in numerous industries, it's not a slight against you - it's just how it is to stop people playing the system. I'd take a deep breath, realise bad things happen to good people and just let it go. You've got an oil leak, it sucks but the dealership is fixing it for free. This might well be the only issue you have for many years to come. Better to wait and see, than lose a load of money getting rid of what's probably a solid vehicle.
