Just got back from dropping the car off at the dealer, and they found small leaks coming from the vicinity of the spark plugs. Their advice was to fix this problem, ( $220 ) and after drying everything up drive the car for a week or two. After this they propose to check and see if the underside is dry, which would mean no RMS replacement!

I'm crossing my fingers.
$220 is reasonable price for those spark plug tubes. I replaced all 6 of them when I did the RMS. The mechanic found 2 of my tubes started to leak when he did the whole car inspection.
When we bought my wife's 2002 S four-years ago, it also had an oil leak. It was noticeable after it was parked. We would smell oil burning. It turns out it was a loose bolt on the valve cover that would leak onto the exhaust. One hour of labor took care of it.
