My car has to sit until next spring, but i start it up once a week (Only have had it for a few weeks so far), it started up fine, seemed to be running a bit rich. But when i moved it i saw a little 2 inch spot where it seemed to be right under the rear axle in the centre. I do know this has an s4 lsd in it, could the LSD be leaking (if it's viscous) or do you know anything else around that area?

Also just after it started a few drops came down from the front of the car, the middle and to the left, I have no idea what that could be, its not water and it only happened after i started it.

I'm still relatively new to rx-7s, trying to learn as much as I can, thanks for helping out.

it could be leaking from the diff inspection cover. Do you think that i could be just water, or is it definatly a fluid, if you had it sitting arould for a long time. My car leaks that how i know it still has fluids in it

 

It's definately not water and it wasn't gasoline, it really looked like it ceem from the diff.

I'll get some pics next week. The owner before used it daily so it didn't sit around as far as I know, it's just sitting the past few weeks. If i continues will it pose a problem?

And would you know whst the front fluid leak could have been form?

thanks alot

 

If the differential is overfilled it will constantly leak from the front differential seal. The front seal is the one the main driveshaft connects to.

If you ruin the seal, it's a bitch to replace.

And the middle left is where the oil sensor is attached to the oil pan. Extremely common that it leaks and needs to be replaced. But it's $100, so just get this instead it's $5 and you become the oil level sensor.

By middle left im refering to standing in front of the car and looking at the hood.

and when i looked under the car from behind it looked the the back of the diff was the leaky section facing towards the rear bumper.
