I am just curious, because another one here says it might be the tubes.


I just read this on RennTech:

"No problems. You can let it leak forever without damage.
Even in the most extreme rare case (and I don;t know if this has ever happened) that the seal fell out, it won;t blow your engine up...

The seal is not like a plug. It doesn't hold the oil in per se, it just stops it weeping out the end of the block thru the main bearing. If it gell out its possible to get a lot of oil on your clutch and it would probably drip on your exhaust and cause a lot of smoke. But no catastrophic engine failure.

I drove around for thousands of miles between RMS fixes. In fact I had my 1st RMS done at 27k and my car has now done 52k and only just stopped leaking......I have been driving around leaking for years.
So hang in there until the clutch is done."

Any comments on this - can I drive with my RMS without problems and wait till the problem becomes a lot worse ??
