I have a 93 RX-7 and it's been spitting oil from the bottom left hose of the intake. This is past my mechanical knowledge. I'm thinking a bad turbo seal, but I'm not sure. Is there anyone that can bring light to my problem?

 

I've been reading some of the threads and a lot sounded like my problem, but there was always something different about them. This is my problem.... I've been having thick white smoke, but only when I'm revving up in the 5-6k. Once it starts smoking, it continues to for a while but eventually stops. I went to replace my intake and saw an excessive amount of oil all around that area. I installed my new one, cleaned everything out and drove around for a couple of days. Checked it again and once again, oil everywhere. Took the intake off, oil on all my hoses. Cleaned it out, started the car and hit the throttle. Bottom left hose if you are standing in front of your car, looking at the engine was spitting out a good amount of oil. Also, it sounds like a damn helicopter. Put put putting his way to h..... Runs fine, just sounds funny and smokes to much. Don't have any 7 experts around here. Talked to KD and they told me it could be engine or turbos, but they needed to look at it, that didn't help me. Found a shop around here, but I want to have an idea of what it is before I bring it in.

 

check your downpipe to see if oil has leaked around the dp connection...and then if there is no oil there...take off one piece of your intercooler piping (doesnt matter which one) and check to see if oil is in the piping...if there is oil its most likely a seal has gone in your turbo's...hope this helped peace out

damn computer is going retarded on me too. thanks for the advice, hope to get to it this weekend.

 

Well, took off the top ic hose, and it had a good amount of oil. So I guess I have a bad seal. I think I've learned more about 7s today then I have in the past 10 years. I thought I knew a bit, I guess that is where I went wrong. Some of you guys really know your ****. I'm in the process of answering my own questions by reading your threads. If you have had the same experience, or have some advice so I don't get ripped off, please let me know. Thanks
