Oil Leakage on my FC

hey everyone. i had an old thread about this idk were it went but anyways heres the thing! my FC has an oil leak and ive already put the flurecent die in it to find all the leaks. someone on here told me to check those copper seals from a line that connects to the oil pan. he was right they are leaking but i cant remember what they are called nor can i find them on the haynes repair manual so i can order the part. also found out my metering oil pump and what looks like the air intake gasket r leaking oil. im asuming that its the housing oil nozzle and metering nozzle that are leaking which are right above the intake manifold and its dripping along the sides, reason why i thought it might be the intake gaskets. now i know the name of these parts but why is it that my local mazda dealer has no NOZZLE listed on there keywords nor on there parts database. ive only been able to find the nozzles on ebay but i need new ones i dont wanna buy something used and can go on me any second especialy dealing with oil gas or brakes. does anyone know of another term for this part so i can check better online or with mazda?

Nothing actually attaches to the pan using copper crush washers. There is an oil level sensor, but it just uses a gasket. Slightly above the pan are a few oil carrying attachment points. If it's on the passenger side, it's the oil metering pump. The driver's side/front has the oil cooler lines.

Oil cooler lines need to have fresh crush washers or replace the lines.

Oil metering pump rebuild info here: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-arch...l-pump-608166/

Oil injectors don't really leak. It's usually the lines that are leaking. There's a rebuild thread here. [urlhttps://www.rx7club.com/2nd-gen-archive-72/rebuilding-omp-oil-injection-lines-348068/[/url]

Check out http://www.mazdatrix.com/ if you need help deciding if it's the right part. Or just order straight from them.

the more I read this I think he means the Oil injectors themselves.
OP:read below,please.
Omp is located on the lower front passenger side of the engine and has 4 lines,one each to a oil injector.
the OMP lines have a banjo bolt that needs copper crush washers to seal the bolt against the omp.
the Lines go from the OMP to the Oil injectors.they are located on the lower manifold and keg itself.If a line breaks you get oil leakage.
NOW if that is your problem look up KARACK (Rotary Evolution) as he as selling braided oil lines..very snappy setup!

So the fc back together n runs good. After putting OMP lines and oil injector vacuum spider hose I realized I was missing washers & probably my reason for the leak on the right side of the motor. Whoever had it before that worked on it forgot two injector and one omp washers SMH! Now to the left, the more and more I look at it I'm assuming it is the oil filter mount that's leaking but the filter isn't. So that's next.

There are two o-rings below the oil filter pedestal that get old and leaky. They are generic o-rings, but I'm not sure of the exact size. Mazdatrix sells them as well.

So the car is back together and ad I drive at a steady pace don't matter speed but it must b constant speed it feels like it jerks back like low on gas or like ur so dum u forgot to shift to 2nd feel but very suttle only the driver feels.

First thing fix the leaks, change the coolant and thermostat, perform a full tune up, maybe a decarb treatment before the tune up.
Then see what is going on.

No problemo! A TPS that is out of adjustment will cause that. Very common. To me, it is quite noticeable. The FC tends to lightly buck when trying to maintain a constant speed under about 2.5k. Never really looked into it.
