It is very common, you will need to replace the o-rings on the oil cooler. better yet, get an oil cooler from a series 2 car (81-83). you would have to custom mount it, but its a lot better than the behive

The modification you want is '79 thru '82 US made Rx-7, with the air to oil cooler.
Parts needed:
Short radiator
Oil pedestal (2 new oring)
Oil cooler with mt. brackets
Oil cooler hoses, short and long
Radiator shroud for short radiator
Rubber cap with clamp to plug t- outlet port.
2 or 4 crush washers for hoses..
If your tall radiator is NEW then you will want to with a GSL-SE oil cooler and mt. it in front of the radiator.
Not hard to do, just look at a donor car.
