Ok, my 1988 RX7 is using about 1 quart of oil ever 100 miles..
I fixed the only oil leak I had..I replaced the O rings under the filter
No smoke
No other leaks
No burning oil smell
I found the OMP and I moved the arm rod that links to throttle..it moved fine...what else should I do to it?..please help cuz I need to go on a rode trip soon, and I don't wanna take it to the dealer if I don't have to.

 

You sure that was the only leak? IF you don't have any external oil leaks... it may be internal . I know your not seeing any burning oil or smoke.. but that's all i can think of right now.

oh, BTW, it's mother-****** spelled ADVICE!

 

Hmm, you don't get ANY smoke at all? Thats a crazy amount to be burning. How are you so sure that your not leaking any? Sometimes you don't get leaks unless the engine is running.

 

Funny ****

 

uum thanks dude!!!..I'm just consumed with getting GOOD ADVICE!!

 

Well, I cleaned the engine today, and checked for oil...I didn't find any...what else can I check???

 

I don't see a way in the world that your car does not smoke AND you don't have an external oil leak. If you were burning the oil it would smoke like a ****. You must have a leak somewhere that your not finding, only thing I can think of.

 

Yeah, a qt every 100 miles, it's gotta be going somewhere.. That's like blue smoke everywhere!

I told him in his OM to me that the no smoke , no leak thing was no possible.

Check your coolant for oil.
Check for oil leaks at high RPM. (may only leak under pressure)

Its leaving somewhere, FAST.

 

Check the oil cooler hoses. Maybe its puddling up in the undertray.

 

Where is the oil cooler hoses located?

 

look for the little radiator thingy in front of the big radiator.
its what the big hole in the front of the bumper blows on.

follow those lines.

 

ok, I checked there...no signs of oil...nothing, and as a matter of fact I just cleaned the engine yesterday...this is driving me crazy, cuz I really enjoy driving my RX7

 

I'm going to tell you the same thing I told you the first two times you posted this thead. You are burning it. If there are no leaks, the you must be burning it, smoke or not. Period. It can't go anywhere else except the coolant, and that is VERY unlikely. Your problem will not be solved unless you LISTEN to what people are telling you.

 

In other words...Re-Build right????

 

The only other thing I can tell you is to look under the car where the engine and transmission mate up. I unknowingly ever-so-slightly tore a new rear main oil seal on my TII putting it in. I lost 1.5 qts of oil in about 125 miles. The underside of my car from the engine back was covered in oil.

Its only like a $6 part, but you have to drop the trans to do it. I had the trans out twice in the same week

 

"In other words...Re-Build right????"

DUDE..
dont jump to conclusions.

Just check it out!

find the leak!
do the things that we have suggested.

I would like to know the results of that cooling system leakdown test i mentioned that you get.

 

ok, I will get the leakdown test done, but can I achieve the same thing by draining the coolant...don't mean to be SO thick headed!!!

 

No..

You dont have to drain the radiator to do a "leakdown test"

Is there oil in your coolant?
(3rd time asking)

if you dont know that these terms are, then search the internet using whatever search egine you like for the terms.

you will get info much more quicky.

 

I checked the coolant yesterday, and this is what I found...
coolant reserve..I saw some black looking ballsfloating around, but when I opened the ragiator cap I didn't see anything floating on top..it looked clean, however when I opened the other radiator cap by the engine...I noticed that the rubber seal was worn and broken, and that's where I think those little ***** came from in the reserve....make sense

 

well did you retreive a "black ball" to see if its oil or water?
are you certain it wasnt oil?

 

Well, I smashed a ball in my hand and it felt like oil!!!...it was mushy, greasy, but there were only a few ***** in the reserve....the black like ***** are only in the reserve tank...I didn't find any in the radiator

 

drain it all into a bucket (you have to remove the underpan first) and look in the bucket.

 

ok, where is the under pan located, and if I find oil what will that mean?...and what should I do???

 

Go online to FC3S.org and download the Factory Service Manual. It will have all the terms and procedures we tell you to use.
