Well add me to that list. Just had my Rear Seal start leaking. I had been noticing oil on the ground in the driveway. From one day to the next it got worse. Off to the dealer we went after doing some digging on the forum. They said very first RL ever having this problem. I told them they need to do some checking on that because there are more than just mine.
Well lets just say thank goodness for Honda extended warranty Total was $1100.00 or so and just had to pay the $50.00 deductable.

Do we know if this has affected any 2007's?

Not sure. Maybe other 1st or 2nd year RL owners will post up some info.

I just thought is was funny they are saying that they have never had this problem on a RL before.

That sucks man! Glad to hear your only out 50 bucks instead of 1100 but still inconvenient and shouldnt happen. Hopefully (for my sake) its only an late 05 and 06 issue. I wont be happy if it happens to mine
