Mine doesn't leak at all (crosses fingers) but from what I have scene on other FD's its not as bad as other cars. If you want to see a car leak, drive an old air cooled porsche.

Threads like this just reinforce my theory that this forum is nothing more then an emotional support group for rotary owners.
Acceptance is the first step to the cure.

When I decided to try and have a hack at the oil pan leak the second time is when I decided to go single and do about a billion other things that I have been meaning to do, but never really got around to doing. This f*cker better not leak when done!

I didn't have a problem until I switched to Mobil 1. I put in 10-W30 for the winter and noticed when I moved it from storage that I had a slight leak it just got worse.

my first 93 cym leaked all the time, from the turbos, from the pan, from everywhere....even after a few futile attempts from the dealer to fix them it still leaked here and there...the bottom of the car was like a mud slide.
...BUT.... I have 2 fds sitting in my garage right now and after weeks of sitting (winter storage) there is not a drip on my garage floor when i pull them out to get the juices flowing.... so with some work it IS possibel to have a non leaking FD.
..now let me qualify 'non-leaking' .... my 95 does have a slight 'seep' on the rear turbo somewhere, just enough to make a thin line of oil on bottom of the turbo housing, but not enough to really be dripping.... and the track car was seeping oil from somewhere on the filler neck area, but that was fixed before i purchased it and now i see no oil leaks....yet (crossign fingers)

I agree, when i upgraded my 95 motor mounts I used a lot of sealant around the bolts than go through the pan.

Mine leaked a couple drops for about a week and then stopped. That's the only leak I've seen. It wasn't anytime around an oil change either....strange.
