	abstract = {The random split tree introduced by Devroye (1999) is considered. We derive a second order expansion for the mean of its internal path length and furthermore obtain a limit law by the contraction method. As an assumption we need the splitter having a Lebesgue density and mass in every neighborhood of 1. We use properly stopped homogeneous Markov chains, for which limit results in total variation distance as well as renewal theory are used. Furthermore, we extend this method to obtain the corresponding results for the Wiener index.},
