Musar for Keritot 49:48
מי שבא בידו ספק עבירה ביוה"כ אפילו עם חשיכה פטור שכל היום מכפר
IT BECAME KNOWN [THAT THERE WAS NO NEED FOR IT], IT MUST BE BURIED.
Mesilat Yesharim
This is as the matter of Bava Ben Buta who would bring an Asham Talui (undetermined guilt offering) every day (Keritut 25a). Likewise, Iyov, after his sons' feast, would rise early and bring burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For he told himself: "perhaps my children have sinned [and blasphemed G-d in their hearts]" (Iyov 1:5).
