I know on some other vehicles the RMS is over the exhaust, but in ours I just dont see it, I think its way over to the passenger side.
Thanks for your response!

I just had a service done 2 months ago where they "removed engine filter housing; replaced all gaskets, and cleaned sealing surfaces" and "replaced upper radiator hose and thermostat-to cyclinger head coolant hose." Do you think my current issue could be caused by the technicians doing any of those things wrong?
