need help on my engine
Leaking oil from my front pulley or PS fluid I don't see how it could get from my PS to my front pulley I'm sure I have a ps leak because my fluid drops at a fast rate I'm not sure if oil leaks out that front pulley or not I'm new to rotary

Are you sure it's as you wrote in the quote above Λ? If so, there is a main bolt holding the pulley and hub combo to the e-shaft itself. The bolt sometimes has a big copper crusher seals depending on what year it is, the later rx7's just have gasket maker silicone. Although I have never seen one leak there, that's probably the only place that oil would come from and sit in the pulley. I recommend you do not try taking the bolt out as the roller bearing that are inside the front cover will fall out of place(it's something you can't see). In case you do try to be dumb and take the bolt out make sure there is someone holding down the clutch the whole time so the bearing won't fall. There is also another seal that seals the outer side of the hub to the front cover, but there is no way that I can see it finding it's way on the inner side of the pulley wheel.
