Well,

i have been seeing some oil drips just beneath the engine area and i was thinking it must be the RMS. Earlier this week i did a clutch replacement, removed the flywheel to get access to the RMS and to my disbelief the area there was clean from oil. It seems that the oil leak culprit is a small bolt located at the middle bottom of the engine just behind the flywheel. -------- THE IMS!! It was not tightened well and i tightened it more and cleaned the area. 2 days later, no more oil leak. Is it supposed to be tightened?
