I feel like such a idiot . Ok heres the story. Im driving to work (Car lot) and im kinda giving it in 3rd gear then when i go to shift to 4th it wouldnt let me and the rev limiter beep goes off and my rpms are bouncing of 8KRPM. So it took me like 3 seconds to realize wtf is going on so i shut the car off pull over to the side of the road and see what the hell happen. I lift my foot and I see that my FLOOR MAT IS STUCK ON THE GAS PEDEL. I remove the floor mat and THREW IT as far as possible. I get back in the car and it started up fine. So I was kinda relieved BUT I get to work park my car and leave it there for a while. I go to check on it about 2 hours later and notice that im LEAKING OIL. I pull the car out put it in the lift that we have at the car lot. I cleaned the undertray and all the oil. My oil pan was very loose so i tighten up the bolts. I cleaned all the oil and it seemed fine. But once I got home I notice a liltle bit more oil droping down.

My question is what could i have damaged.

 

Oh yeah I drive a 90 TII

 

turbo oil seal? just a shot in the dark

 

It kinda seems like the oil is coming from the driver side of the engine. The car still pulls strong and everything.

 

if it is drivers side check the tightness of you oil cooler lines and the oil filter.,,just a thought

 

You might want to check your dip stick also and your oil cap.....those r also on the driver side........

 

Broken end plate?

 

Its a very small leak. Im going to bring it to a mechanic on Monday. Till then im not going to drive it to much. Its been hard to start lately really pissing me off. Keeps crankin over and nothing.

 

Sounds like you got a flooding problem as well. Get your fuel injectors cleaned (~$200)
I vote oil lines for the leak.

Yeah I think its a flooding problem to because I have to floor the gas pedel some times for it to start.

 

Just noticed today that my oil smells like gas. What could this mean

 

Yeah check the oil line to and from the cooler. Also check under the oil filter, maybe those O rings are bad. Also cross fingers and look at where it says Mazda 13b on the motor and hope those O rings arent leaking...

All rotatries smell like that

 

Where exactly does it say 13b on the motor?


Thanks

 

I've got a leak in the same spot. I haven't traced it down yet though. There is oil above the engine block though, so I think thats a good sign. Think it might be leaking from where you put the oil in somewhere. Where exactly are the oil cooler lines though?

 

I once had a loose floor mat slip under and bunch up beneath my brake pedal at the worst possible time such a thing could have happened. I got out of it, but since then, I've never used a floor mat on the driver's side :P
