Hello, I have dismounted my engine, the old owner said me when I bought the car this engine only had 20000km because his old engine was broken and mazda's mechanics said it hadn't solution and then he bought a new engine.

I have seen a lot of oil leaks for the lateral sides and dry coolant in the right lateral side of first rotor housing.

I wait it's a tipically leaks for a bad manteinance and I wait it isn't a momment to rebuild the engine for bad seals or housing joints.

Please check my personal gallery since this pic and please let me know, thank you:

looks like the outer coolant orings are leakin, either a bad rebuild or the motor got hot possibly? warped housing or irons, improper cleaning of oring grooves. just plain old and wornout orings. thats my 2 cents.

 

And then do you think it has a easy solution?

If I mount a new gasket set and cleaning can I repair it?

Thank you

 

if it internal then you will proabably have to rebuild it.
you can clean it and then keep track of exactly where its leak and then you can better determined what specific part. hows the vac at idel.

 

And then you suggest me I clean the engine, mount it in the car and run to see better the leaks, isn't it?

 

Well I have talked with mazda spain service, asking for this engine, and this is the real history of my engine:

two year ago the old owner broke the engine and in mazda saw the engine hadn't rebuild and they get a new engine from japan, the old engine is in this dealer of exposition.

When the new engine arrived to spain had a crash and they replacing the broken part for other new from japan too.

The car was stopped in mazda over one year for this work and the engine until I bought it had over 20.000km.

My question is, can be in bad conditions the seals and o'rings with 20.000km?

Can be a bad mounting from mazda service of the o'rings and joints?
