Okay so I started the car for about 2 mins to warm up the oil. Got under and saw the leak in the photo attached. I then changed the spark plug tubes (they were definitely also leaking) and plugs, and did an oil change. Very very tiny bits of metal on the magnetic drain plug. I checked the oil filter and it was super clean, just oil. So that rules out IMS leak?

My guess is RMS leak. As stated the last time the rms/ims/clutch was changed was 40k miles/9 years ago.

I'll inspect the engine from the top to see if there are leaks from up there. What do you guys think? RMS for sure?
