Have you looked?

Possible locations will depend on the year of your RX-7, which you have not supplied.

Often it helps to fill the cooling system up totally and with the car cold, use a clamp or large set of vice grips to squeeze the upper rad hose. This may force coolant out of any small leaks.

If it is very stubborn, a dye kit can be used.

yeah your right i have yet to try that but since i just got the car i'm a bit iffy because i have had four other fc's and i know that when you smell coolant you smell trouble hehehe but yeah ima try the dye, oh and i have notice that the foam behind the radiator is a bit wet, so i'm assuming that the tope core might me the cause, but thanks a lot bro
