12A oil leaks coming from where and what?
i have an 83 rx7 with the original 12A in it. i have a couple oil leaks that i'm not sure what parts they are coming from. one leaks is coming from the front part of the engine. there is what looks like a mini throttle body just under the fan pully. it has 2 small hoses that run to it. there is a good amount of oil hanging off of that. so, what is it and what can i do about the leaking?
the second one. is coming from the drivers side of the engine. there are a couple of 1-2 inch rubber hoses that all connect in one spot and that whole side of the engine from that spot back and half of the side of the tranny is covered with oil. what is that mess of hoses and what can i do to fix the leaking. any help would be great, i'm getting tired of seeing oil spots on my pavement and pouring oil in between oil changes. thanks.

As for the second one sounds like a beehive issue, if they had them in 83 or not. Does your filter stand on a finned mount or not?

still have an oil leak
ok well i replaced the 2 rubber lines and i still have an oil leak that is dripping onto the exhaust manifold. after i drive the car for a while and then stop, the smoke starts rolling off. i can't see where it's coming from. what seal is there around the exhaust manifold and the heatshield?

all i did was replace the 2 rubber lines b/c i thought they were leaking and that was an easy and cheap fix. somehow oil is still getting on the exhaust and heat shield but i don't where it's leaking from.

broken OMP lines
You need to trace the OMP lines all the way from the pump near the pulley to the base of the carburetor. They snake their way through a lot of stuff and it is hard to see them unless you remove some hardware. Most likely the old nylon lines are broken allowing oil to spread on and drip off the heat shield.
For the leak on the drivers side it is most likely the O rings on the beehive or filter pedestal. Check the oil lines very carefully as well. If it tuns out to be a cracked beehive pm me as I have a good one FS.
