These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

3 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have leak small drop when park car. Where engine / trans. meet. Probably RMS. I just had trans work done 1mo. ago and seal wasn,t replaced. Do I have to have this fixed right away, or can I wait for a while. Car has 88000mi. on it. Thanks

Uh, that's a loaded question. No attorney would give you an answer. The leak could be the RMS. If you have a small puddle on the driveway/garage floor after a few hours or even a day, I would say the time to replace it is now. Most folks who have oil "sweating" between the engine and trans tend to wait but best practice is to get it fixed ASAP. It could also be that the IMS seal is leaking and that is a whole different issue, and could be a much more serious issue. Either way, get it fixed now. You'll be glad you did regardless of what is leaking. Oh, and have the IMS bearing upgraded, don't just replace the seal.

POST 3Original post

Describe the work that was completed a month ago. Could this be a result of the work that was completed a month ago? Was the facility that completed the work a reputable facility? I would suggest giving this issue your attention before it becomes terminal.

POST 5Original post

under CPPO or your nickel? because you should have had a laundry list of things to do "while you are in there"

POST 7Original post

sorry to hear because IMO you missed the boat on getting the other things done while in there... it is being advised at this point to also replace AOS, check clutch set, test DM flywheel, change IMS bearing (if you believe in such) and swap out the case bolts per the TSB on Renntech. An RMS is IMO an easy swap once there but some are opting to leave well enough alone if there is no signs... leaks from this area come from the bolts, the IMS seal, the RMS seal and the AOS sometimes being close can be a leak that is in the same general area (though outside) best bet at this point is to take it back and play dumb.... tell them it never leaked and now it does... see what they say

POST 8Original post

Agree with Ed on this one... Take it back and say it never leaked until you were in there!
