Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

If it was the IMS seal than I would replace that seal even if it stopped leaking.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Last Sept I got the signs of an RMS or IMS seal leak. The usual 2-3 drops on garage floor after each drive. That lasted about 3 months. For the last 3 months I have not had a drop and the area between engine and tranny is dry. The leak started just as I was draining 0w-40 Redline oil. Since then I have used Motul 5w40 8100 x cess. Has anyone had a leak like this disappear? Any ideas why it stopped?

POST 2Original post

Yup, I had the same thing. I think sometimes the rubber seals seal themselves and these issues resolve themselves. If it gets a lot worse, then I would take it in.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, I am also going to stick with the oil I am currently using as all is good at the moment. In fact, it makes me hesitate to replace the RMS as the new one might leak. hmmm? If it was the IMS seal than I would replace that seal even if it stopped leaking. Of course, that would happen anyway as I would be putting in a new IMS bearing.
