Send the engine to a reputable shop to rebuild it since most likely the coolant seals are toast.

your in Japan, home of the RX-7 take it to one of the 100+ shops that could probably fix it and make it a monster.

But first take the spark plugs out and you will see coolant come out the holes.

Please review the forum rules with posting threads. Your title is pretty vague....

That said, yes, it's not looking good for your coolant seals. A compression test is in order, and likely a rebuild.

Compression test. Were did the coolant "leak" from, was it smoking?
