Leaking oil
3rd gen 93 rx7, I am leaking oil out of the passenger side, as I have let the car sit when I went to college seems to be under the tranny but I think that it is not the tranny because the leak seems to start above the tranny could it be one of the turbos, and could it be the apex seal that I hear so much about, what happens when that seal goes thak you to anyone who can help

oil leak can become a serious problem on a rotary engine. make shure that you have the adequate quantity of oil if you make the choice to still use your car. i dont realy know what would leak, the best thing to do is bring your car to a competent rotary mechanic.
apex seals are what seal the tips of your rotor to your rotor housing. they can break under heat, detonation, or when your oil meetering pump fail to work properly. if the seal goes off or break, damage can occur to your rotor, rotor housing, side housing..
but i dont think its your case. since you havnt blown your engine.
