Leaking Oil and i think i smell gas
ok so the other day i noticed my car was low on oil so i put about 2 quarts in. and then it started to leak more when i shut the car off i was thinking turbos.. but now it leaks constant and i smell gas too so i think its leaking gas too..
and it is leaking on the turbo side of the motor but i cant see were it is leaking from..

This is very common for RX7's.. best thing to do would be too clean the bay so that no oil is evident... turn the car on and view where the oil is coming from. My first guess is it might not be your turbo but coming from somewhere else. Unless the seal on the turbo is completely gone you will only get a small amount of oil where another source could put it out more if this is what your seing.. Jus a guess could be wrong
well the thing thats making me question is the turbos are brand new and only have 4000 miles on them. and when i smelled gas i was ruling the turbos out unless gas goes through the turbos which ive never heard of other than they run on exhaust.
i have felt around were the oil pan is and theres oil all over it so im thinking a oil pan gasket.. i think i might have overfilled it with oil so im guessing that might be that cause althogh the oil dip stick was on low before i filled it with two quarts and then it went to full so is the low-full line only 1 quart or something..

well i was looking in the book and read the car took like 5 quarts. i know this oil thing is my fault.. im not good withoil i guess i mean when i blew the motor it was because it was out of oil and now its leaking oil because i put to much in... gahhh when will i get it right...
