TX Need help on a leak!!

All,

I have a 1993 RX7 3 Gen and just gout it back from the shop about 3 weeks ago.
This car was in a co-work house in storage for the past 4 years so I know there will be littel issue along the lines.

I have located 3 leaks on my car

1. Leak under the upper intake manifold. ( Coolant line need to be replace)

2. The O-Rings under the oil filter need to be replace.

3. Frount crank seal need to be replace.

I am about to attemp to repair 1 & 2 ; But I have never worked on a car like this one. I am unclear on what steps need to be taken when removing the uopper intake.

1. Is there and fuel line that will leak when I remove the intake?
2. Would it be better to remove the throttle body and intake off as one pice?
3. Is there a way to replace the throttle body coolant line with out taking the intake off. This coolant line has 2 leaks on it next to the throttle body and half way down the coolant line . So I know it needs to be replace. I am just looking for help on how and what would be the best way to fix this issue.

I will be trying to fix this issue this weekend and any advice would be great.

Thanks,

Rene

1. No.

2. Yes.

3. If you have very tiny hands and can contort into odd shapes, then it might be possible. But I've never seen anyone do it on any generation of RX-7 without removing the upper intake.
