Need advice on a coolant leak. 1988 RHD Turbo 2
I bought another fc this last January and I am finally getting around to working on it. It is a 1988 Rx7 FC RHD Turbo 2 with a very recent rebuild on it (<5000km). Let's just say it has been sitting for a few years before I got ahold of it and it's pretty clean for it. The only problem I am having is that there is a coolant leak coming from the turbo side (right) and I am just wondering what it could be before I start pulling the turbo and how hard of a job it will be to remove it. I have a few ideas and I am just looking for others so I am prepared for anything it could be. Thanks for any help you can offer.

I've had a leak at the coolant passage between the LIM and the block. There is a o-ring back there that could have failed, causing the coolant to seep out. It would pool up below the injectors and drip down onto the turbo, causing a little bit of smoke until it burned off.
