Oil leak
 
I have a little leak that seaps through the crush washers very slowly and I was wondering what would happen if I used no-leak. Has anyone used it before? Is there any side effects using it in 7's? Well, just wondering, thanks.

crush washers on what?

The only thing I can think of that has crush washers is the OMP... I don't think the oil cooler lines have them.

Oh... and I wouldn't run that crap... No telling what it'll clog up.

Yes, the oil cooler lines do use crush washers.

Don't think of using any of those STOP LEAK products.
They contain CRAP that solidifies when it comes in contact with air.
This is how it works.
So, any air in the system will cause this stuff to clump and clog up your system.
DON'T DO IT.

Fix the leak properly.
Doing it half-assed will only bite you in the ass.

Oh.. well shit. maybe thats why my oil cooler lines are leaking. :)

Where can I buy those crush washers? I've never seen them on mazdatrix or anything. Hydraulic shop? AutoZone?

Thanks for the tips, and yeah it was my oil cooler lines. Mazda dealership should have plenty of crush washers.
