At the very least, I cancelled the appointment and will shop around.
If you haven't seen any drips I would put on some grubbies, grab a flashlight and poke my noggin under that Jeep yourself. There's a good chance something up above is leaking slightly and it's dripping off the RMS area since it's the lowest spot on the engine. Your eyes are every bit as good as a mechanic's eyes.

agreed!
better yet...get an engine wash and go for a drive. Keep checking until you see an oil leak. chances are, you're leaking from somewhere else besides the RMS.
