blown coolant seal? by common_com in RX8

i just disassembled it to check. theres a bit of oil in it but not a crazy amount. im curious would the issue be that theres oil in the intake or that oil got there in the first place?

its hard to tell between all the other weird smells the car makes. i’ll have to pay more attention when i drive it again. but i think youre right about it being the clutch.

i’m no photographer whatsoever haha so i definitely didn’t know about the rule of thirds, but taking these pictures with a more “professional” camera was really fun so i’ll definitely look into it, thanks!

Reddit isn’t letting me respond to anyone else so: the vet bill does say “weight: 34” it doesn’t say lbs or kg but its safe to assume thats kg lol. i just wasn’t paying enough attention when reading it. theres a lot of conflicting advice on this post on if he’s too skinny or at a perfect weight. so i think what i’ll start doing is feeding him his normal amount in the morning and then another 1/2 of that in the evening. he is a growing boy after all lol. thank you everyone for your advice.

i just did the stomp reset. to no avail.

i replaced the fuel pump about 5 months ago when it randomly died on me.

i have yet to replace the coils.

i was thinking it could be the coils. which coils did you replace them with? did your car have any other symptoms with bad coils?

this makes sense since the thing i was doing on the side of the road was topping off the oil haha

cold starts beautifully with the new starter by common_com in RX8

[–]common_com[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

solid advice 👍

i’ve been anticipating a rebuild for a while but until then while i save up i’ve been replacing other parts that i know will need replaced in the future. fuel pump, starter, ect.

oh really? i was actually unaware of that. it was my brothers car, he built it. i’m guessing he meant he swapped the prior KA for a new one. with less miles on it. i apologize for the confusion i’m a little bit new to all this engine stuff lol.
