You can get a replacement PD at Mazdatrix or the dealer. I believe they are about $160. Also, search this site for the banjo bolt pulsation dampner mod. Most will be in the second gen forum. In this mod, you replace the PD with a banjo bolt. This way you don't have to worry about leaking in the future. Most say that it will not hurt performance, etc. However, the fuel pressure fluctuations may shorten the life of the fuel pump or injectors.

Just make sure that you fix it right away. Many RX-7's have had extensive fire damage due to a leaking PD.
