Oil leaking from spark plugs - 3rd gen
Hi Guys,
I have a 1993 touring FD and I recently had a small oil leak traced by dye. It looks like I have oil coming out of a couple spark plugs and a bit around the oil filter. The mechanic wasn't very familiar with rotaries so could only spot the sources. I have a little of 70K miles on the stock engine. Does this sound like the beginning of the end for my baby's rotary? The nearest rotary specialist is far away so I thought I would seek some more info here first. Thanks! Gary |
If it is the rear rotor plug area then it is most likely the oil Pedestal O rings that seat the pedestal to the engine.
There are 2 O-rings in between that part. |
Damn Styx I think he gets it :lol:
But I agree with Styx. That usually is the culprit. I had that issue on my last 7 |
sorry..cleaned the thread up.,.my laptop got stuck on stupid..!kept posting...

yup definitely. Oil filter pedestal o rings. My first FB bought at 20k miles had this problem. Changed it and it was brand new!
