The day before the turkey, I changed my oil and took some pics of the leaking. Not sure if it's the RMS, upper oil pan, lower oil pan, or some combo of all three. I guess I'll be pulling the engine sometime this spring to find out.

I'm suspecting the RMS just from those pics

I also now have about 1/5 of the amount you have on your lower pan and parts up front, it looks identical, just not as severe. There isn't a single drip on the trans housing. So, I'm guessing you have two seepage points, RMS and upper or lower oil pan.

You coming to Road ATL???

Great! I have the same problem. This car is begging to be stage 3'd.

I thought you replaced the rms before? I know you had the engine out for something recently..
