If the 3.0 T6 and 3.2i engines have a weakness, it's the cam-driven vacuum pump. The pump itself doesn't really wear out since it's splash lubricated with engine oil, but between it and the cylinder head are ordinary rubber o-rings. The double whammy of constant oil exposure and heat of the cylinder head makes these o-rings hard and brittle very quickly, resulting in oil leaks that can drip down on to the transmission and look to the untrained eye like a rear main seal leak.
This kit contains fresh pump screws and a vacuum check valve, as well as new nitrile rubber o-rings that should do a better job resisting oil and temperature than the originals.
