I'm sure someone here knows. Ive got a customers 94 firechicken and it appears the RMS is leaking. On that 3.4 is it a one or 2 piece RMS.

Thanks.

after 1985, all of the 60 degree V-6s got a one piece RMS.

I'm not sure if the "plug" for the distributor hole has an O-ring on it, but the earlier V-6s had an O ring on the distributor that, when it leaked, it looked like the RMS was leaking.

the oil pump/decapitated distributer thing on the 3.4 has the o-ring also.

Thanks for the replies.
The oil is only on the bottem of the engine bordering the inspection cover and the oil pan so its either gotta be a rms or pan gasket, V shaped drip.
