Since nobody else jumped in yet, I'll give it a shot...
The IMS bearing sits in the IMS and does not directly seal to the case. A leak to the outside of the engine would have to be from the flange seal or o-ring for the center bolt - not through the bearing itself. I had that happen on one of my '99s, so I had the whole bearing replaced as a 'while you are in there' even though there were no signs it was bad.

For the RMS, here's some Renntech:

Note the bit of discussion about the new (PTFE) seals install 13MM from the flywheel mating surface of the crank, not 14MM
