Well, if you are loosing coolant, and there is not a single coolant leak; then yes, you are eating coolant, time for a new motor eventually.

Go to this thread and scroll down till you find the C section for Cooling

https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/faq-3rd-gen-other-useful-links-68640/

Read the threads under Cooling System info

That should give you a good start into understanding the cooling system and your symptoms. I suggest you also try and get your car into a reliable shop like A-Spec to go over your car and especially the cooling system before jumping to any conclusions on what might be wrong.

The Regional Section might have other local shops you can try. Do have a rotary specialist look at the car as regular piston mechanics never diagnose problems on this car correctly. Neither does the dealer.
