Wanted to update everyone mostly because with a lot of threads I read here, people get their question answered and then there's never a reply to say how it turn out. I'm sure I've been guilty of this as well.
So almost 2000 miles and my RMS leak has essentially stopped. The RX spent 8 days in the garage for the week between Christmas and New Years and there were no drips.
There was a slight/thin film of oil around the areas where it was dripping from previously, but none dropped to the floor.
I'll probably change the oil again in a couple weeks and when I do, I'll run Auto-rx again. I'm happy with the results so far.
