Sounds like those guys are fuckng lost to me.

Damn you would have to be in Knoxville.

I don't know of anything out that way.

You could alway drive to PFS.

It's about 6 hours from you.

Just hop east the hwy that goes thru knox to Nashville. Just go East instead then hop 81 north. Till you get to 66 take that west and take the exit for 28 south into Manassas and yer there.

OK guys...where is there a real RX-& shop somewhere near Knoxville, Tn???

This dealer "fixed" the engine mounting bolt leaks but now says, oh sorry all of that other oil that drips out after you shut it off it's coming from the case joints....only way to fix that is a new engine...yeah right!!

So far it's been some missing brass washer on the engine front, the front cover gasket and now the mounting bolts, all within 44 k on a remanufactured engine. The original went 77k without any leaks.

"case joint?" Wtf are they talking about. If that were the case you would be leaking coolnat and overheating all over the place.

It's either the oil pan , rear main or front main seals.

yea my front covor seal went too had it replaced at KDR in penn along with the 99jdm turbos that was a big bil but if ur gonna pay that much money bring it to a specialist not mazda. i dont know where ur located but there are a bunch of places around the us that can do it the right way.
