"IMS seal checked". Huh? The IMS is a bearing that needs to be replaced, preferably with an aftermarket part.
RMS seal replaced. OK good. Then you say "Since the RMS was done on the S am i good for a while on that, or could that go at any time"? The RMS is the rear main seal between the engine and transmission. In some cars, it develops a gentle weep and causes you to lose oil very very sloooowly. My RMS leaked the entire time I owned the car. A new RMS is nice, but guess what, when you go do your clutch (or IMS) you will need to do it again anyway...

IMS seal checked means they glanced at it while installing the RMS and it wasn't leaking. You don't need to replace the RMS when replacing the clutch. The RMS seals the crankshaft, but since your in there anyway it's a good thing to do.
