RMseal is very common with porsches too. The head seals and pumps etc. all have new seals, but not sure about the RMS. All I know atm is that the leak is coming from the left side of the car and is leaking down onto sump and all making it horribly greasy :(

best to try clean it up, then take it for a spin and let it sit for a while.. then check it to find where its coming from.
