Smoke Screen
As alot of our high mileage rx7's do, mine smokes at startup then stops, then passed 5500 rpm or so billows of smoke comes out, kinda like when you do the atf treatement, it happens really bad when I declerate or drop it in to 2nd while going 60 mph and it creates a smoke screen affect, (yes I can't see any thing in my rearvieww except smoke) Anyone else have this problem? oh yeah I'm on 161,xxx miles on my car

Oil pressure raises with Rpms so when the car reaches a higher rpm the oil seals must withstand more pressure. As far as the water seals go; I have no idea why they would be effected differently at higher rpms.
