I'm new to rotarys so I figure it can't hurt to ask. I'd like to know where my oil could be leaking from. I have no idea what kind of seals are on the engine, it sure seems like none.

I cleaned off the spot where the red arrow is, and sure enough oil started following that path right back down. Is there some sort of a seal upwards of that point that I can't see or is it just the waterpump housing? I showed it to a local rotary guy and he said that oil shouldn't even be that high up in the engine, and thought I may have just overfilled it. I don't know if thats logical or not because at 70psi oil can go lots of places.

Thanks for any help!

 

Turbo or nonturbo?

If turbo, could be the turbo oil line. Its located on top of the front iron. Or it could be the oil blowing back from the oil filler neck. If below the arrow, could be the oil cooler line fitting.

It NA, then there's not any oil around that area.

 

It's NA :<

 

IIRC there is an o-ring on the CAS that may be damaged/missing- your pic seems to be pointing right at the base of the CAS so it's worth looking at.
