If you are sure about that, then this is not a small fix. The entire engine needs to be disassembled. 
First make sure that it is not the oil filter pedestal o-rings that are leaking, or the purge valve which is in that area.

i'm pretty sure. i will double check. not a lot of guys want to do the job.
i've asked around and they say the same thing. "i've done that to a rotory engine.
need to find a good mechanic or a good place to buy a engine to replace mine with.
thanks for your reply.
