Most likely the engine was replaced under warranty after either the IMS failure or a cylinder 'D' chunck, cracked cylinder head or other means of intermix failure with coolant in the oil or vice versa. They wouldn't replace the engine for an RMS leak, just the seal and possibly the clutch. The question remains is whether they were using the 'final solution' IMS bearing (non-replacable) in 2002 or if you just got a new 3.4 engine with the potential weaknesses of the original engine.
