products for rotary water leaks
I have a rx8 that we install new water seal for any reason one of them has a small leak. In the piston engine their is a several products for that did you know any that work on rotary engines?

blue devil actually works quite well and doesn't leave a mess in the cooling system like other products. i've also confirmed that it works on the rx8 where other things like alumaseal failed miserably.
course everyone is going to say to redo it right, but it is an RX8 and they likely have never owned the headache that is the renesis 13B-MSP.
you do not want the pour and go stuff but the flush, flush and refill type:

np, you can also drain and save the product for future treatments, i never had to redo the RX8 that needed it since the engine crapped out due to wear before the reseal broke free.

most likely the seal got pinched during installation or the rotor housings have too much thickness variation causing gaps in the compression area of the engine(left center in the picture below surrounding the spark plugs), which is usually where the housings tend to narrow with age. misplacing the coolant seal seam could also cause premature seal failure which is easily possible with a novice builder who isn't familiar with the clocking of the seals, the seams always go just above the intake port at roughly the 1:30 position.
