Are you sure it's the line & not leaking at the injectors? The injector o-rings may need to be replaced, or just replace them when you do the lines since you will already be there.

I can ask my bro; I was in the car when the action happened. If that's the case it would be a lifesaver hardcore. Baldy, whereabout would these oil metering lines be/what color are they so I can avoid all contact with them?

This is what they look like. I Have gotten into the habit of replacing these as soon as i work on an rx7 for reliability reasons along with removing the rats nest and all that junk down there.

Wow, so clean! My OMP looked like a lump of oily mud with some metal underneath.

Now would be a good time to consider removing the rats nest.

rat's nest? Also, where can I get new o-rings and what size secondary injectors are safe? I thought I could ick up o-ring from rx7.com, but they're for the FD, and I am not sold on the compatibility just yet.

The rat's nest is the nickname for the mess of vacuum lines lol I'm not sure about the injectors but I think there's a site for fc specific parts?

For the injector O rings check your local Mazda dealer or maybe some of the site that sell injectors.

so part-wise the injectors under the manifold are the same as the top ones in design, right?
