i am not new to rotary engines but i dont know everything about them. whenever i had a previous problem i would usually search and do it myself. well i have searched on this for the last couple of days. the problem started when i went to put my 7 back on the road. checking all the fluids before starting it i noticed that the coolant would leak out almost as quick as it went in. while i had the car up to change the oil i figured i would out where it was leaking from while it drained. as i put water in to test i see an almost steady stream hitting the pavement. i get underneath and see that its running the side of the tranny. seeing this i figure i know what the problem was since i had just replaced almost all the coolant hoses recently. the only one i hadnt was the hose from the TB to the block. after takin off the IC, TB & UIM i found out that it wasnt that hose. now i have no clue where this leak is coming from.

its an 87 T2 with s5 turbo and wastegate ( thats what the previous owner said, havent validated that yet), removed airpump, and all the rest i guess r not important to the problem( emissions stuff)

Check the heater hose that runs from the block through the firewall into the heater core inside the car. You might also want to check all the clamps on the new hoses, especially those near the rear of the engine.

Otherwise, check the engine housings for cracks.

ive checked all the hoses and clamps. its almost looks like its comgin off the side wall that the turbo manifold attaches to. unless there is a hose underneath the LIM i dont know where this is coming from or how to fix it. the funny part is that i did the block weld fix last spring before i stopped using the car. the shitty part is that my daily driver was totalled (gf driving) and now i need this car. anything short of taking it to a shop to fix this car asap would really help me out



to check the housing for cracks would be a total pita. i would have to take everything off the block
