oil leak :(

im pretty sure my car is leaking from where the oil filter is connected to the engine. i did put a rebuilt engine in the car and thinking i missed a gasket or something. i think i read somewhere that its 2 o rings but not sure. can anyone tell me where i can find this part or the size of the o rings? thanks

it is 2 o-rings but you can also use permatex "right stuff" (grey). If you are careful about it (not too much).

The o-rings are easier to install. You can get them from mazdatrix or mazdacomp.

We use that grey right stuff for almost every sealing surface on a rotary and ditch half the gaskets. It works far better.
