So i bent a tie rod end this weekend sliding around, and i was examining the damage when i noticed a slight but steady oil leak. Now it seems that the leak is coming from the backside of the pan gasket where the motor mates up to the trans... Im not very familar with rotaries yet, and being a former piston guy the first thought in my mind was, god i hope its just the pan and not the rear main seal.... Then i started wondering... Do the rotaries have rear main seals? Someone help me out....

Damn thats not what i wanted to find out.... Still praying its just the oil pan gasket.....

buy a Haynes manual for the car off of Amazon, it'll answer a lot questions for you

I've even seen them occasionally show up at autoparts stores still

I have one... Its in the cubby behind the drivers seat. Tho that does me no good when im not near the car

On another note, i definately need to read thru it. Anyone have any experience with using the Atkins Rotary Rebuild kit? For 350 bucks i figure its a pretty good deal, but with such a big price diff, im wondering whats missing.... (typical kit 1grand or so Atkins kit 350....). Also, anyone know what size socket is needed for the flywheel?

Turns out its not an oil leak from the rear main.... its an input shaft leak in the trans and its gear oil thats pooling up in my driveway.... Good thing nothing blew up
