i looked at an rx-7 yesterday and when the car backed out i noticed alot of oil leakage on the ground. when i asked the seller about this he said that it was normal and it happens often with rotary engines.

i know nothing about cars and whatever is inside (im only 16) i was wondering if there is a permanent solution to this leak and if its possible to avoid it in the future

thanks

no thats not normal
its the front/rear seal,oil pan gasket, or o-rings

doesnt sound too bad. can i have an estiamte on how much to fix that?

if its the o-rings then you'll have to tear down the motor

hopefully its the oil pan though
then it will be just a few bucks for a new gasket

look real hard and find out where the oil is coming from
