RMS isn't something that fails catastrophically. It's a slow leak, so unless you were driving the car for a long period of time without monitoring and replenishing oil you're not likely to have a catastrophic failure.
On the subject of engine replacement, for "rebuild" type operations the engine still has to be pulled and re-installed. That amount of labor is roughly the same for either replacement or rebuild. So, factoring that out, if the amount you'd spend on the actual repair approaches the cost of a new engine you're better off replacing. If your mechanic says that he can fix it for $8k or replace the motor for $9k which would you choose?
