How much oil are you loosing? Unless you can watch the oil run out of the engine just standing there, you might try running a quart of Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer in place of one quart of motor oil. The stuff does wonders, and doesn't contain any sort of block sealant or anything else that might cause problems.
AS of right now she has a freash oil change so how long should I wait to use the Lucas? and how much? will the hole quart be to much? or should I just get another oil change and use 1 quart Lucas?

If you're bleeding at the rate it sounds like you are, just wait until you are a quart or two low, then top it off with the Lucas. This is not a cure, more of a way of accommodating a problem. But it might get you by until you are ready for a rebuild....

Thank you guys for your help, I have decided to park her for now, I have decided that I need to either buy a new car and use my rx7 as a project car or sell/trade my seven for a newer year to mod. But If I do keep and rebuild where should I buy the rebuild kit from?
thx, anthony
