Bad Coolant seals :(

When I checked my oil the other day it had a little white foam look to it... and kind of had a green tint to it...Im assuming the coolant seals are going and dont have the money to fix them properly (rebuild). I know there is stuff that you put in your coolant that stops leaks but I dont know if it is safe for a rotary. Its the only option i have right now. Any help would be appreciated. Ive been searching and havnt found anything.

Bro i was in almost the same situation. I drove on mine till it overheated now im forced to rebuild, if i kee driving ill mess it up more. I learned in my research that some of the block sealers and stuff were meant for piston engines and can make it hard to rebuild a rotary. im sure someone will correct me if i am wrong.

Coolant sealers are mainly BS.. The two engine cores I have had that stuff in there.... and it settles into weird places, probably furthur ruining your engine...... but.... It sounds like you have nothing more to lose... so.... go for it? The worse that could happen is you make your engine non-rebuildable and have to get a new core.
