Sounds like coolant seal, the oring between the layers of the block. These motors don't take well to overheating so beware. There is a repair that doesn't require teardown and may work for you it did for my 88 na, see rotary resurrection .com , tech-coolant seal fix. Good luck

my did almost the same thing but i could drive it for a half hour before the temp would start to climb into unsafe levels. I just took my motor apart and found that the water jacket had broken off. That was the cause of my problems.
