I am a little shocked that your rear main seal is still original. You have an N54/55?? Correct.

I would tell you to replace your engine & trans mounts, if they are original and you are at 160,000 miles. Either go OEM or get an upgraded set. Just stay away from 034.
2008 N54 FBO, correct
* Still original FMS
* Still original RMS
* Still original OPG

I am losing about 1/4 qt of oil every 1000 driven miles.
