oil leak, diagnosis please!
ok i put my car up on the lift today. and the whole bottom side is drowned with oil. i dont know whats wrong with it, theres alot of oil aaround the oil pan. i think im going to get a gasket for it. but theres this metal ball type thing leading to the whole pan and its leaky too. i have no idea what it is. i just got this rx7 last friday. im also not familiar with rx7's. does anyone know where i can buy a rx7 manual?

The "metal ball type thing" is the connection for one of the oil cooler hoses. It's a banjo bolt which is sealed by a copper washer, maybe two. Try replacing those washers, but be careful not to overtighten the bolt.
