sure.
apparently these engines tend to leak from the case bolts.
it is recommended in the Bentley book, the shop manual and the LN bearing installation guide, to replace the bolts with encapsulated ones.
these are the same bolts that also come with the LN IMSB kit for the IMS cover (only longer).
the old bolts are regular hex head, the new ones are torx with sealing material on the thread.
you can view the procedure here:

i can also tell you have the updated RMS (that's why its not leaking Jager ) since the old one has circled imprints on it, and installed almost flush with the case.



the new RMS has rectangular imprints and seats 3mm inside the case (13mm from the tip of the crank)
