whats up everyone??? i have a 12a from an 82 gs in my datsun 520 pickup. as i was runningf around, i noticed oil burning on my exhaust. when i checked, it looked like it was from my tranny since it looked to be coming out the rear seal. by the time i was almost home, it shut off. no power and very hard to start back up. when it did start it sounded crappy and was shaking badly. checked the oil and there was NONE!!!! my guess is that it was motor oil leaking but how? how bad did i mess up the motor? any chance that it can be saved or should i just get another one? anyone had this happen to them? im new to the rotary scene so any help will be graetly appreciated. thanks!!!!
