i heard somewhere i forget at the moment that the rotary has an indemic problem with oil leaks. is this true? if so how much is it generally supposed to leak? thanks!

 

No more oil leaks than any other engine.

However, Rotary engines by design, do inject oil into the intake while running. Usage is dependant on throttle position, but is generally 1 quart every 1000 to 3000 miles (again depending on how you drive).

 

thanks yo

 

I just recently purchased a FD from anohter user on RX7club, and he told me about a small problem the car was having. When I drive it around, after I stop the car, it starts to smell like burning oil.. I don't think the car has an oil leak from what I can tell, but I could be wrong.

Any ideas/comments/things-i-should-try-doing? Any help would be greatly appriciated.
