blown engine or not?
ok...so i was driving down the road got on it a lil bit and noticed that i could smell coolant...so i pulled over and my upper coolant cap was not tight...i tightened it down....on my way to work about an hour later (90+ degrees outside) i noticed my car was smoking from under the hood so i quickly pulled over into a gas station and car shut off as i rolled in....here is my problems...
car took at least 25mins to start sounded like it was flooded to hell...
when it started finally it ran but i had to keep it alive manually and sounded flooded to hell...
noticed all the water i had put in it was missing...
refilled it before i left work (4-5 hours later) (>70degerees outside)
and would not start. my buddy which has a rx7 as well realized i had compression in my radiator.
towed it to my house and today (week and ahalf later) relized ALL MY OIL is on the ground...
plz help?

thats just the problem...my temp gauge didnt work and i didnt get around to getting a temp gauge... and no i never leaked oil EVER!
my friend told me when the motor was pulled from the other car the guy pulled it out with tranny amd he said that if at any point in time if it had got caught it could have loosened a tension bolt which would let the waterjacket seal loose and eventually it just brokie or got hit by the rotor and that this could also be the reason im leaking my oil.

Just test the cooling system. You can buy hand pumps at the autostore and pressurize the coolant system to see if there is any leaks in the system. Basically if you do this and you can't see any coolant leaking then it is prob leaking internally.
