So I have had an oil leak for the last 6 years. My mechanic has the car up and the transmission out and I happened to call to ask him to look at the tensioners as well. He said that the leak is coming from the IMSB, but could have just been a faulty flange. In anycase I am glad that I am getting this work done as the likelihood of IMSB failure is greater when that area also leaks. He said that my RMS was completely dry.
