gas in oil
if your oil smells like gas and you have air coming out of the radiator when the car is running is the motor shot. if so what cracked/broke/fell apart?

Opinions are like........
bubbles out of radiator usually equals bad coolant seals = rebuild time ......is this happening always, hot cold or both?
gas smelling oil is from flooding but my oil smells like gas after 2k miles so I change it more frequently than the stupid 3k/3months norm

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
Remember evey time a rotary is flooded the oil must be changed!!!!
Not changing the oil when flooding the car is just asking for early seal failure.

Gas in the oil is typical on turbo'd rotaries with good or bad compression.
I've had my oil tested 4 times at Southwest Spectro Chemical, each time I had 10% fuel dilution, mileage on the original motor was around 40-50K when the oil was tested.
Air bubbles in the cooling system are another story.
