Unhappy

i own a 1988 gxl non turbo coupe,it does not leak any oil and since its a rotary i know it uses some oil every 1500-1800 miles, but i noticed the smell of oil,kinda like it was burning but there is no blue smoke when idling or when i get on it,is this smell normal for a rotary? i was parked beside a p.o.s. truck and it could have been the truck i was smelling the oil from,lolthanks







waste ricers,all of them!!!!!!!!!!!

you shouldn't smell oil burning if its a constant smell you have an oil leak somewhere..... make sure you always smell it before you go nuts taking the car apart
