CA RX7 Mechanic???? Part 2

Okay so last time i posted i had a problem with the car, it kept smoking on every cold start up, white smoke, i still have the problem as of now, but it does not smoke all the time as it use to! its getting a bit warmer now, and the car seems fine, and does not smoke a **** load... anyways this morning at start up it did not smoke at all, and i start the car at 5:30am for work. and its pretty cold at night. so i don't know if its a coolant leak. im extremely confused on what it is, so apparently for the past couple of warm days it hasnt smoked, it is cloudy today and a bit cold. but anyways i haven't checked out lukcy 7 yet, and i was wondering anywhere they do "FREE" diagnostic check. anyways the past couple of days it hasnt smoked or hasnt smoked a lot. let me know if you guys know anything about this....

Do you notice any coolant going back into the coolant overflow tank. My car started out like yours but over time I realized that it was the coolant seals in the motor that were going. I hope I'm wrong but I needed an engine rebuild. I tried some seal repair that I ran thru the motors coolant but it didn't hold.

I had the same symptoms which turned out to be bad coolant seals :/.

I put a ton of block seal in and it helped alot, but im not sure how long it'll hold.

Sounds like the water jacket seal fixed itself! Awesome!
