Original IMS and no signs of metal or debris when oil filter is cut open and inspected.

The only 'oil' leak I have is some weeping from the brass shifter bushing on the 6 speed transmission. Not enough for concern but I will look at it when the clutch is done in the future.
I just had that fixed. Not too difficult. There's a few options.
