Possible oil leak on "New build engine "
Engine :
13b s4 N.A
:Rebuild two years ago , not started , just been standing dry on the "shelf" .
Well lubed when assembled .
Situation : During first start up / brake in .
Problem : After a couple of minutes on idle " first start up " , i noticed that a little oil had been seeping out between the front rotor housing and intermediate plate , at the spark plug area . ( see pics ) . Illustration only .
The ammount is very small , maby a tenth of a " t-spoon" .
: It is not comming from elsewhere , no spilling , leaks from filler tube etc , just to make myself clear .
Anyone got some inputs ? , i have the same diagnose / oil-leak on my 110k miles
12a .
Thanks in advance :-)

ON the 86+ rotaries the only way oil could leak from there is if the o-ring were bad (reused from a very old engine?), pinched (mis-installed), or left out. Even on very high mileage engines the o-rings flatten down a little but oil still does not leak there.
Now on the older, 85 and earlier engines there was always an issue with oil leakage there.
