BTW, I do not know why the engine was replaced, looking thru warranty issues the original RMS was replaced on the original engine with 10k on the car, and the only other hint is the electrical fan died shortly before the engine did at 30k (so maybe overheating killed it?).

The last RMS seal revision was 10/05, I believe. There doesn't seem to be enough data yet to say if this is a fix to the problem but I have read of a couple of later model cars (05-06) with an RMS leak.
