Diagnose my rx7 13bt fd !
Okay recently there has been a lead up of events causing its resting place untill sorted,
to start off, I Have a 92 rx7 13B extended port, single turbo converson, 48MM masterpower wastegate plumbed back in, medium size front mount, ssqv bov ..
The engines done 25 Thou since rebuild
when i had bought it, it was smoking on deaccaleration "used as a bargining point dropped price 4 thou" but he was trying to tell me its done that the whole time because of the single turbo conversion, twin oil lines joined to one
so it blew white/ lighty blue smoke when deaccalerating for 6 months so far then one day i noticed a boost leak, went from 12psi to 7 psi sounds like it was under the inlet manifold
so oil had been slowly spraying out the bov to cover the bonnet in oil , i notcied my oil coolers where smoking aswell and that there is smoke comming from around the turbo real light ...
with all that happening i still took it out for a drive then after i sat there idling my temp gauge went up, i think there is not any water going through the bottom of the radiator, im now not driving it with the risk of overheating,

he suggested to get a restricter on the oil feed lines, he told me they joined together "somewere" maybe one was blocked causing more pressure on the other ? i have a startup vid of it before the radiator became blocked? water pump fail?
Lets say i leave it idling on warmup "before radiator problem" i could notice smoke comming from the turbo area and out of the headlights from the oil coolers , what could be causing that
