Default LN IMS Solution - leaking oil

I have a 2005 C2S that came with the small IMS bearing. I replaced it with an LNE IMS Solution about 4-5 months ago. The IMS Solution started leaking oil so I took it back to the certified installer. They were able to stop the leak but its come back again. I've read in other forums that the IMS Solution just leaks. Can anyone else with the solution installed provide their experience? Did you have leaks and were you able to get them fixed?

I don't have the Solution but have seriously considered it if I learn I have the small bearing.

From where is the oil leaking (which fitting or area)?

If it's leaking from an oil line banjo fitting, replace the crush washers with bonded sealing washers.

I'm not sure which end its leaking from - I can only see the oil droplets on the middle of the braded line and on the ground under the car. Currently, my boxster is occupying the jack stands waiting to be put back together so I can't really get in there and look at it. I plan on taking it back to the installer and asking them to fix it. Hopefully, it's not the IMS side which would require the engine and transmission to be separated for access.
