The fuel pump is also fine for a stock setup. I had some exhaust and a k&n filter on mine and the stock pump still was fine. If you do more than that, then I would probably replace the pump.

Are both of the nipples on the air/oil seperator tube connected to hoses? It could be that a little oil is getting puked out in the form of mist if one of those nipples is open. Or, it could be a seeping o-ring around the dowel pin in the motor, which requires disassembly of the motor to fix. I'm running an RX4 fuel pump currently as it provides a bit more fuel at a slightly higher pressure. Plus, it's what I had on hand.

First of all, Im not pulling your leg. If I was, I wouldve said so in the first post so you didnt run out and try it and then read in a later post that I was joking and have you possibly mess something up. If I (and other forum members) are joking, you can usually tell by the expressions we use while typing . So if the 2x4 and hammer doesnt work, you can always count on duct tape . As far as fluids, I personally use Castrol 20W-50 for the engine, Redline MT-90 in the tranny, and Redline 75W-90 in the rear end.

And some people think that rotaries are strange alien creatures from another planet or something. Take a look at this list and point out anything that is rotary specific.

I would guess a leaky dowel pin o-ring.... don't worry about it unless it gets really bad... to fix it you need to overhaul the entire engine with a new soft (rubber parts) seal kit.
