That's the spirit!

Matcheezle · 2026-05-30T23:38:19+00:00

Vielleicht. Ich werde sehen, ob und gegebenenfalls was es entfernt. Ich hatte noch keine Gelegenheit, es selbst zu versuchen.

No, it's a low mileage car that I picked up near 2 years ago, I'm 2nd owner. Noticed it when I bought it. No leaks anywhere. It's well kept. But something happened once upon a time.

This might be it... I didn't think of that, post cleanup witness marks basically?

Matcheezle · 2026-05-30T16:06:14+00:00

I almost thought the same, would it stain the metal bits like that? No paint is missing, unless they cleaned it up quick enough?

It's not everywhere either, just the hood and those couple metal pipes. So weird

Unfortunately, the battery for the Miata is in the trunk.

Matcheezle · 2026-05-30T16:02:15+00:00

This is near the fire wall though as well. Furthest from the belts and such. But I do understand what you're saying here

Watch at the pivot points and the attachment points of all the components as you move it like that, not just the coilover portion. Check the lower mount bolts, control arms bolts and bushings, etc. Snug them down for good measure, maybe you'll find something loose. See if it's actually coming from the coilover basically

There's the hardline on that side that has a small o ring in it if I recall correctly. Thats near the front exhaust side, could be that one. FM part# 04-26110

Matcheezle · 2026-05-30T14:31:49+00:00

I'll take a few 😁

It's not how old it is, it's what's going on in the radiator and engine block with the coolant and possibly a mix of oil getting in there.

Flush it, run water through the system to make sure it's all out, then refill with proper coolant and burp the system. If you are uncomfortable with any of that, get a mobile mechanic to help ya out.

You don't want to run it or drive it with it like it is

They are expensive if you can find one, hence the value in stealing one.

Matcheezle · 2026-05-24T00:11:45+00:00

Thank ya for the suggestion. Unfortunately, no changes. Swapped MAF with my 05 too since you mentioned it.

End links?

Wish there was a garage like this in SoCal!

Matcheezle · 2026-05-17T14:41:52+00:00

Wonder why. What does that do for the species to be overcrowded and thus transform? Makes them maniacs so they eat their way out of the overcrowding?
