Scouser, nice to have you visiting here again! Excellent pic too! I think it should be put in all the Owner's Manuals too! It's a keeper for me, hopefully I'll never need to reference it.

Well the good news is even if you have an RMS leak I feel certain you can stop worrying about it and just think about it as a niggly PITA. If your car is within warranty then great. Just get it fixed (well so called fixed until it leaks again). Otherwise just leave it until you need a new clutch.

I am still on the same 7th RMS and have done 12,000 miles on it this year. Th only thing I do out of the ordinary is change my oil and filter every 5000 miles. My 7th still leaks.....well actually this one is the best behaved so far. It doesnt drip per se, it just sweats. I just live with it and hope.....

when you get a 'new' engine, it is actually a rebuilt engine right?
Also, the VIN on the engine will not match the car, so wont that result in your title saying that its a rebuilt or salvaged vehicle?

Thanks for the info everyone. I understand that the oil seperator is on the front lef top of the engine and I can see what it looks like (from company X's website). I am still wondering where it fits into this picture?

Well, at least you have the correct side of the engine, it is in the front, and you cannot see it from the engine compartment opening.

Here is what it looks like on an engine that has been removed. The long shiny hose will either crack with age, or the fitting of the hose and the Oil Separator will start leaking. In your case, I would guess that the fitting is leaking.
