Hi I'm new to rotary engines. I live in Littleton. Could anyone look at my engine and tell me why is it loosing/dropping oil on the front? I also can't figure-out how to lower the top.
The car is 88' RX7 Convertible. I could use some help. I love those cars finally got a hold of one - knowing what I'm getting into.

well I'll be in littleton on saturday I think... probably saturday afternoon and sunday morning... I could take a look at it if you want.. but if you do some searching on here and on teamfc3s you should be able to find answers to any and all questions you might have.

 

Make sure you sign up for the Yahoo group! My car is leaking oil too....I think my oil pan needs to be replaced.

 

If its from the front of your engine I would bet you money that your front cover gasket is leaking. Either that or your OMP.

Jim Berg works at County Line Import Automotive (formerly the mazda-honda shop) thats just west of county line & quebec, just down the little side road and east of Napa. Hes one of he only people in the state I trust with my car, and Im sure he could find your leak in about 5 mins.

if it is just dropping from the front of your car and not necessarily from the engine it could be your oil cooler.

 

So, How's the H.R. flasher treating you guys? lmao

Just so this will stay on topic, Your either leaking from the pan, front cover gasket oil cooler or omp. That pretty much covers all the bases. It's not pooling up on top of the rotor housing is it?

 

It's probably somewhere below oil filter. There is some oil arround oil filter but i think it's liking in the front.
What's OMP?
Thanks
