Hi all,

So I bought my 1999 boxster base manual in 2015 and my mechanic at the time did the RMS and IMS bearing retrofit. All good. Fast forward to early June 2017 and I noticed a 3 or 4 dime size oil drops on the garage floor. Note that it was in storage since December 2016 until March 2017 and been driving sporadically until June. So Jack up the car and noticed a little oil on the underneath of the car, right in the middle. And it seems to come from where the transmission mets the engine. So RMS right?

I clean it all...

The issue is that I have been driving it hard for the last 2 weeks and....no drips. Nothing. Is it possible that somehow the seal has been reconditioned or something?
