Hello, for those that don't know I just bought an all original, stock 79' RX-7

There is an oil leak that is dripping onto the exhaust. directly under the intake on that thermal reactor thing.

I took off the air cleaner and I can see oil residu everywhere. That thin metal pan between carb and manifold is soaked in oil. What would be the most likly cause of the leak? I checked the oil metering lines, I did'nt see any drips from there.



On a side note while poking around, I see that the OMP is very wet, I'm assuming that is leaking also. Where can I get a block off plate for that so I can just run premix.

Thanks,

Jay

you might have a hole in one of the oil lines up to the carb

youll have to clean every thing up good to see for sure.

i thank racing beat has a block off plate for the pump but not sure
