If you don't yet know the exact source of your problem then everything is moot until this point becomes clear. Yo?

Well since I can see that you are not mechanically inclined, you should take it to a professional mechanic. And please stop running it without oil pressure, you will cause more damage to the engine.

if you would read the other posts before you post that'd be great thanks lol how am i supposed to see where the oil is coming from if i dont start it and do diagnostics? I understand that i could find out where its coming from by pulling the egi fuses and cranking it just found that out today and fyi I am mechanically inclined just not with rotary engines everything else on the car I have done myself. rebuilt the alternator did all the exhaust and shocks and struts even brakes rotors even replaced a drive shaft and rebuilt the transmission. you don't fkn know me so dont start spewing **** from your keyboard until you've read all the posts and you could simply ask are you mechanically inclined or have you worked on mazda engines before ..... instead of saying ooo you should take it to a professional cause your not mechanically inclined. Kid gtfo the forums your input isnt worth ****.

hard to believe yes, just be honest. we see stupid questions all the time. but at least take a second to think before you speak otherwise you may get a little ridicule. the transmission is more intricate a part to rebuild than everything else on the car beside the wiring system. the second most difficult thing to work on, i doubt is going to get trumped by a simple oil leak, a buzzer or the rather stupidly obvious oil level light on accompanied by that buzzer. what does it mean? think. maybe the car is trying to tell you something.

if you lost all your oil on that last drive then you should easly be able to locate it while cranking it over without the egi.

Yeah, and since that's a FD, it should be in the 3rd gen section.

Believe what you want.

not completely rebuilt but took it apart to fix 5th car was out of service for almost a month. Like i said before if you would have read previous messages before making assumptions there was oil in the car when i started it put 2 liters in and it was spraying oil everywhere. Later on someone posted that i should pull the egi fuses and then crank it therefore not spraying the oil everywhere and i would be able to locate where the leak was coming from.

Yes very intricate indeed that's why I couln't drive it for almost a month. cause i took it out replaced 5th and tried putting it back together a multitude of times before success. Fyi I knew the oil light was on i posted the vid so that people could get a better idea of the situation granted it was a shitty vid and its not a simple oil leak rofl if it was a simple oil leak like for example coming from the oil pan i wouldnt be on here asking about it. And the same buzzer sounds for a multitude of problems not just the oil so thanks for your input but no thanks.

In previous post I've already said that I tried this its coming from the engine and I think its a seal its hard to see where its coming from exactly cause there's oil all over the car from when this happened and I have't had a chance to actually clean it cause cant drive it to the car wash and use there pressure hose or anything.

I'm going to take it to a shop and am closing the thread thanks guys for the diagnostic help this morning I poured two quarts in while egi fuse was out and had my brother crank it a few times its coming from the front of the engine near the belts but above the oil cooler going to take it to a foreign car mechanic on Tuesday was hoping it was a simple fix like oil cooler lines or something but its a bit more serious. Thanks for all your input.

Its funny that you say I dont know ****, everybody mechanichally inclined knows that if you dont have any oil pressure you should shut off your engine right away, and on top of that I am not a rotary engine expert but I have built quite a few Honda engines and trannys..anyway do whatever you want.
