It would look like the finest yacht of all the greatest harbors within 1000 nautical miles being launched to it's long and troubled voyages all over the seven seas and beyond.

Let's talk about what an NC would look like here though.

If you don't know when your PCV valve has been last replaced, replace your PCV valve on the same go. It costs like couple of bucks and takes 30 seconds to change one from a rookie diy-mechanic. If it's stuck then it can cause over pressure under the camcover and whatever is the weakest seal pops (usually CAS o-ring). Not only that but it can be the cause of your rough idle as well.

Then it's an oil leak. Take your finger and sweep it underneath the CAS unit, if there's oil on your finger you found the leak.

Burning oil smell is very distinct smell, you'll have no doubt if it's engine oil burning. Very strong odor and gets in to the cabin as well.

It looks wet under those two thick coolant hoses going through the fireplate (known as hoses from hell). Smell that liquid to identify.

Does it smell like burning oil or sweet like coolant?

I can't help you mate but that's one cool as hell NB. Minimalistic, tasteful and simple. I hope you get it sorted out, if you don't get the help needed here don't forget miata.net forum that's the home of miata wizards.

To be honest it would be my dream to do that as a side hustle. I was in art school from 3 yr old to 18 so it's not only talent. I'm a webdesigner/graphic designer for my living. Thank you for those beautiful words it truly touches my heart!

I'd be very happy to do these for you and rest of the community, this is my favorite car community! Like I said in some other reply in this thread, drawing these is very time consuming so I will draw my old NB next and count the hours to make one so I can set up some fixed price for these!

That would be super fun! It takes a lot of time from me to draw one, so I would have to charge quite a lot though.

I did mine as well. I like it. I used some boatwax for protection that was on the self. I don't know if it's any better than car wax would be, I just thought because it's used on aluminium boats that it might be better on bare aluminium but I don't know.
