I found my leak, and it is VERY easy to miss. After cleaning everything up I started the car and ran to the engine bay. I could see oil seeping out inbetween the rear rotor housing and back plate, where the dowel pin is. So it's either the little seal inbetween the plate and housing, or a crack in the rear plate. Either way the motor has to be pulled. Luckily I have a spare rear housing. So it won't cost me anything, except for my labor. I'll also have to port the rear housing to match my port.



If you really can't find your leak at idle then put the car on jackstands and "drive" it while somebody looks for a leak.[/quote]

IF it turns out to be a cracked rear plate then it's probably from too much boost. I turned down my boost controller a few weeks ago, but that 93 upper intake flows MUCH better than the TII manifold. That mod alone raises the boost. So if you do it you'll need to reprogram your boost controller.



It may just be the seal because my motor has always had low oil pressure at idle, and it doesn't get to 60 PSI until 4K RPM's. It was like that even before I rebuilt it.[/quote]

scumy, atleats u have the parts. And the camcorder is too close to be in focus so it didn't work . But i was gogin to try the jack thing als, going to try tomorrow now that u mention it. If it was the same problem as u have, what do i need to replace a seal? How much and where could i get a seal from?

The seal is cheap. Mazdatrix would have it. The only catch is that you have to pill the motor to change it.

hmm... actually sounds like fun :notify: But i just don't like the idea of going to start it again and crossing my fingers

ok i got it,

well i started experimenting and jacked my car up and had my friend watch for the oil leak, while i "drove" the car. It was so bewildering and puzzling. Oil appeared out of no where on that little plate betweem the side housing and the tranny. I couldn't believe it. So i removed it and saw oil around the edges of it. And when i revved to like 7g oil came spewing out! So oil is leaking from like, im guessing and oil seal on the eccentric shaft, it hits the flywheel is sprayed up and comes out. What is this seal called? im going to start pullin the engine tommorrow good thing i have done the clutch before and my dad is a mechanic Im going to have fun though . I'm also going to have it repainted under the hood. So i have 2 options, one replace the seal no biggy, 2 BOOST :wow: thats right ppl BOOST so ya and do u think i caused this by pluging those oil vents??? i don't care just want to know.... Kinda cowincental

O ya i got flames They don't come out but u can see them inside my big cans, only when i **** though and not always

If it's the rear main seal then you DON'T need to pull the motor. Just remove the transmission and flywheel. Then you can get to the rear main seal.

if it is leaking from around the oil filter is is most likley to be the rubber " O " rings on the underside of the base of where the oil filter screw on. remove the oil filter and then remove the base look on the under side and remove the " O " rings and replace w/ new from MAZDUH parts cuppla bucks, this should fix ya right up
