If a rotary blows smoke during start up then stops after warm up, it is Not a problem. That is from running the engine with low oil, then it will harden the oil o rings in the rotors and will allow oil to leak past while sitting. Or from condinsation in your exhaust, which will stop smoking sooner than the oil. If a rotary blows smoke during hard excelleration, TIME FOR A REBUILD! sorry. . .
my oil leak has gotten to a point that i have to add a quart every 4 days of just regular driving

well about the smoke after hard acceleration..... unfuckinglucky me... well its still running pretty hard after 200k on it, and i dont think my car has been rebuilt yet.
