RMS Failure - NOT!
Well,
i have been seeing some oil drips just beneath the engine area and i was thinking it must be the RMS. Earlier this week i did a clutch replacement, removed the flywheel to get access to the RMS and to my disbelief the area there was clean from oil. It seems that the oil leak culprit is a small bolt located at the middle bottom of the engine just behind the flywheel. -------- THE IMS!! It was not tightened well and i tightened it more and cleaned the area. 2 days later, no more oil leak. Is it supposed to be tightened? |
IMS Bearing

Don't drive it or start it until you determine a course of action. Call Jake Raby.

Fortunately, there is an IMS retrofit available (LN Engineering), but it requires removing the flywheel again to do it. We do not tighten or reseal leaking IMS bearings, we retrofit them……….. |
rene525d,
Don't get excited yet, If one of the three flange both was loose. Drain the oil pull the bolt put sealent on it and install it again. Or take one extra step and R&R the oil filter, cut off the ends and look in the filter. Dozens of metal flake would be a warning sign. If the the center nut was loose on the slotted stud, that would be bad. Checking the filter is the next step. |
