85' RX7 GSL, oil leak & won't accelerate past 4k
When I was driving to work today I noticed that I had no power. I couldn't go any faster than 80 and I had no acceleration. I get to work, turn the car off, and a customer pops in and says my car is smoking and sure enough it is. Significantly, I open the hood and see oil burning off the engine and some resting on the frame on the passenger side.
I checked the oil and I wasn't down all that much from my last check. I made a post about it on Reddit and they said to come here and ask for opinions.
A lot of people have been saying apex seals, but then they say it wouldn't cause the oil leak, just the compression problem. I have an appointment tomorrow at a Mazda dealership and I'd like to have a little more of a heads up on what to expect or discuss with him.
