Hey fellow seven owners I have had my 2nd gen since November of 09. I discovered an oil leak that I cannot narrow down. It leaks onto my exhaust causing a lite almost transparent smoke to rise through the shifter and around the cd player area. there seems to be a coating of What looks like oil underneath my tranny, on my oil pan and leaks onto my exhaust. I already resealed the oil pan with OEM gasket and plenty of gasket maker. I added SS oil cooler lines and newer oil cooler with no leaks. There is always a few drops of oil everywhere I park . nothing to serious but enough to be really annoying. My guess is the omp lines . engine if a mazda reman with like 70k. dont know if they reused omp lines but they seemed flexible where I touched them. rite where they come up and go underneath the UIM. I also installed the gtu seats in my car and noticed this greasy oil stuff that was underneath the carpet where you bolt the seat in on the passenger side bolt nearest the shifter. I think this oil may be leaking underneath the carpet . maybe.. im not to sure. HAs anyone had this problem. im just looking for some help. responses are greatly appreciated

 

The oil injector lines are a possible source. Only you can find the leak, so take some things apart and track it down. Oil dripping on the exhaust is a fire hazard, so I'd suggest getting started on it very soon.
