I'f I'm reading your post right & your saying it's leaking not consuming coolant, then..... DO NOT USE ANY STOP LEAK PRODUCTS!!!! in a rotary - EVER.

That being said, take your leaky radiator to a radiator shop and have them fix it. ez enough

You pour the block weld into your gas tank that way your engine will die and everything is ruined.

I would never use the sealer products because you have just prevented yourself from ever using those parts again in a rebuild.

Don't go the cheater newb way with block sealer.

Find the damn leak. If it's from the engine itself then save for a rebuild because eventually you will be left on the side if a road with an over heated blown engine.

There are a few lines which can leak. The most likely one will be right undeer the oil filter going from the block to the firewall. The oil tends to corrode this one and burst it.
