ok...Im pretty sure I have a coolant leak

I posted earlier about white smoke commin outta my exhaust, and Im pretty sure now that its coolant. Its sweet smellin, and theres a fair amount of it. Theres no smoke under the hood, its just commin out of the exhaust. Perhaps a bad seal? Lemme know what u guys think if you could. Thanks

yup...its your O rings.

you are most likely going to need to get your motor rebuilt.

the best motor builder in so cal is Nick Van Nugteren and Rotary Reliability and Racing. He has a great warrantee and beats most the prices as well. if i were you I would take it to their shop and have them look at it. dont get a maz raman either. they tend to fail.

one last way to check is to pull the plugs...see if there is coolant smell on the plugs or coolant on the plugs.

call rotary...thats the other way 7148398018 ask for nick....

he built my motor and many of the other guys around here. their motors are well done

and you can STREETPORT!!!!

hey thanks for the help.

whats a maz raman? and I theres a shop down here in San Diego that supposedly does good work on rotaries. I would go with ur recommendation, but its a bit far away. I would have to have someone drive up with me, to drop off the car, and to pick it up.

sorry for the typo.

i dont know of any great rotary engine builders in san diego. be careful.

Id just pay the extra dough and tow it to rotary.

after all i have been through I wouldnt trust anybody else with my motor other than tripoint or rotary reliability and racing (the far away shops like kdr and pineapple excluded...they are way too far).

but thats me.
