Rms Slight Leak

[thstone]

As previously stated, the problem is that there is no way to know whether an oil leak/drip coming from between the engine and trans is RMS or IMS without dropping the trans. It could be one or the other or both.

And yes, there is evidence that when an IMS seal starts to fail it can leak oil.

Thus, its important to get to the root cause of any oil leak coming from the engine/trans area. Think of it as if you were bleeding a few drops - no one would walk around in that condition so correspondingly any oil leak from the engine/trans area should be thoroughly checked out.
