Bring it over tomorrow. With oil leaks start from the top down, even just a vc gasket can look like a RMS because that area of the engine is the lowest part. My VC and oil filter adapter gasket are both leaking and it looks like it could be the RMS just because of where all the oil runs to. Might find out it's one of those and not the RMS

Good luck with the oil filter adapter. Just did mine a couple weeks ago. Easy job to do, but those three "O" rings are a PITA to find. Took me three days cause of that. The kit you can buy from parts store is incorrect, dealership only has one in stock, has to order the other two. Ended up buying a 150 piece assorted "O" ring kit and matching up my own to fit in.
btw dukie my new flares will be here Monday so the TJ ones are yours next week.

Sh_t you wanna bring that o-ring kit when I do mine? I can look at that RC for you that day. I'm gonna do the VC the oil filter adapter and an injector swap as soon as dukie finishes rebuilding my injectors.

I did a Google search on what to get to restore the color and found a few youtube videos. I was shocked because I was expecting them to show some type of chemical,but what they suggest is good old fashioned creamy peanut butter. NO !!!! I have not been drinking, I'm serious. They showed some really messed up bumpers and the peanut butter brought the color back. The peanut oil is also water repellent and so the shine will last a few months. Can anyone guess what I'm going to try on tomorrow
