Hi all, bought my first rotary rocket this weekend. It is an '87 RX7 GXL, and I noticed it is leaking coolant pretty bad when pressurized. I only had time to take a quick glance but it is coming from underneath the intake manifold behind the alternator. I am assuming it is a hose of some sort but I am not sure, if anyone knows all the coolant hoses down there or has a diagram of them that would be a great help!

yes, there is a hose right back there, since that one is bad, you should probably change all three of the throttle body hoses.

When I get home I'll take some pictures, I am not versed with the rotary yet. Anyways, on the bottom of that there is something screwed into the housing that is leaking a bit of coolant, very small amounts not even drops. Would I put loctite on it and thread it back in?

Hey, its good to see another Rx-7 owner in the Northern Colorado area. I occasionally organize Rx-7 meets where a bunch of guys get together BBQ and cruise and see whos car breaks first! It's also a good resources for good rotary information or parts you may want or need. Shoot me a pm if you would be interested.
