Reported cause
I've got around 10k hard miles driven on my rebuild with IMS Solution and it's been bone dry other than a small leak very, very early on which we traced to a wonky filter.
Leading evidence: 'wonky filter' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'wonky filter' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Install solution is set up' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

installed solution is set up with different innards than the add on spin ons.

..seems to be coming around oil filter..tightening filter did not help
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

..seems to be coming around oil filter..tightening filter did not help
Recently I have been finishing up fixing a vacuum leak in brake booster and some of my brake bleeder kits are worn so delaying finishing while I get a new adapter for the Motive which leaked at reservoir due to worn insert. I decided to address the weeping oil filter and�see pic1. I have the IMS solution �since purchase in 2011. I contacted JRaby who was very helpful in easing my worry of the IMS failing. It was determined that a refresh of the gaskets would address the weeping.
They are available in the IMS Solution�Spares� kit�LN Engineering carries it�106-08.IMSSPARES�$100 plus ship�pic2 include O-rings,oil line, fittings, bolts and locative 565 sealant. One oring is already in place which is a good idea. There are included in the kit o-rings for the spin on adapters. I am still seeking advise on how to get mine in . Unscrewing the spin on part for a fully
I kept finding this drip of oil
..seems to be coming around oil filter..tightening filter did not help
spares kit has O-rings for this part�gotta figure out protocol for removing so i can replace mine
old oil line and Spares kit
installed solution is set up with different innards than the add on spin ons. Pic3 so fellow enthusiast if you have a solution IMS kit this may happen to you and here is how you fix it. The sequence in removing the oil line is criotiocal and removing the sway bar gives great access to it. Best of luck

My Solution was installed in 2015 on my Boxster S 3.6 build . It is bone dry after 10k miles . The Solution on my 996 C4 3.8 build is also dry but I have much less miles on it . So far so good .
I've got around 10k hard miles driven on my rebuild with IMS Solution and it's been bone dry other than a small leak very, very early on which we traced to a wonky filter.
My IMS Solution was originally installed in 2013 at 33k miles.
When my engine was rebuilt in 2022 at 85k miles it was reusable.
I now have almost 96k miles on my car.
