Oh, RX7 Gods, why do you strike at me!

I just greased my wheel bearings and now my car is steering great, but the 7 gods aren't happy enough. On the way to school i noticed my car was smoking a lot more then normal. At first I thought is was just running really rich again, and the A/F confermed my reasoning. When I got a little closer to school, 20mins into my trip, my oil presure began to drop, and the smoke got worse. Now that I'm at school, I looked under the hood and it almost looks like the bajo bolt that hold the oil cooler line to the engine in the rear is leaking! So now after this class I'm going to have to stop at a store and get a bunch of oil and try to make it back home with out hurting my engine. Gerrrrrrrr.....

I've had the same problem twice. Most likely its not the bolt. It prob a hole in the line that makes the oil run down and leak from the area of the bolt. I had two lines burst on me in two months. They are a pain in the *** to replace also.
