NC fuell in coollant????

ok im new at this rotary thing, normally a toyota guy /piston motor guy, but i pretty much undersrtand the workings of these rotary motors, i have never in my life ever smelled fuell in my coolant and this is very wierd to me. im thinking cracked rotor housing because that explains the oil loss im getting the constant hard starting when cold and smoke out the exhaust when cold. is there a common problem with these things on air bubbles in the coolant and hard cold starts? also burnin about 2-3 quarts between oil changes ..

That would be a very odd failure.

Perform a cooling system pressure test. Are you actually losing coolant?

no coolant loss exept alot thru the overflow tube , it is constantly blowing it out , and i hooked up one of those cooant funnels and its constintly bubblesing for like 45 min running at idle ,,,,but why does it smell of fuell? or a blowede head gasket and the fuel smell is actually oil but there is no head gasket ,,,there isnt even a head at all,,, seems to be one of the weirdest things i ever experianced, maby someone hates me and poured some gas in my coolant.......
