yeah if you start the car (when cold) and there is presure under the radiator and there is white smoke ....its a coolent seal

rebuild time.... been there played that song... but on the bright side there is a good chance you can keep your rotor housing. my front side housing crapped out on my car. the wall thickness corrodes away. if it was a rotor housing you might have gobbled an apex too. anyways look for your options rebuild it yourself or get another motor.. OR TURBO TIME !!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE later

Do a search for the "bubble test". This will allow you to make a reasonable assumption that your water seals are bad.

However, if you are not loosing any coolant, then your o-rings are fine.

I have a cooling troubleshooting guide at http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/cooling.htm

Also, pick a better thread subject next time. "need help!!" is useless, and quickly gets buried. I have updated your thread with a better title.
