I'm undecided and looking for some thoughts.

I'm in the process of replacing the IMS bearing on my 01S. It's got a little over 30,000 miles on it and I'm doing the IMS for peace of mind. Before pulling the car apart I was certain I would be replacing the RMS as well and purchased the updated one.

The original RMS is still in place. When I pulled off the flywheel there was no evidence of any oil leaking at all. If it weren't for a little bit of clutch dust, I could have eaten off of it!

That's where my concern arises. I'll drive the car less than 2k a year. I'm thinking that I should let that sleeping dog lie. I'm concerned that I'm more likely to cause a leak than to prevent one. Any thoughts?
