Hi, Now I'm confused,

When a leaking RMS isn't fixed it could lead to an IMS failure right!!! and the culprit would be the RMS bearing gone bad and causing the IMS ( SHAFT) to spin off center causing the total engine meltdown or maybe the RMS oil leak was only from the 3 bolts holding the bearing housing in place and not cause any IMS failure at all.
Did i get this right or does the RMS seal and bearing have nothing to do with the IMS shaft failure, meaning that it fails on its own due to a bad design, what I'm trying to say is the IMS, the shaft being spun in place by the RMS bearing or are they not related at all and in different places in the engine.

I need another coffee
