The RMS is a common and inexpensive repair with the clutch out. If you replace it be sure to use the latest Porsche part,not an aftermarket seal.
The IMS issue is a bit more involved. Porsche will replace the seal with a newer cover plate if it is leaking. Porsche doesn,t have a method to remove and replace the IMS bearing .If it is worn out and fails it can destroy the whole engine. Only LN Engineering has parts to replace the IMS beasing.For peace of mind I would do both if my car and I planned on keeping it any time at all. I bought and sold a 99 996 last year and was worried about a potential IMS failure all the time I owned it. Only a small percentage will fail but $600 extra is a small charge compared to the cost of engine replacement.
