Do you have any idea where it's coming from? Back of the engine, front, etc?

im pretty sure its coming from around there, we had it up on a hoist, and i believe it was coming from some sort of lever or something, the mechanic said it might be a seal. personaly i have no knowledge of the rotory engine or its components. so i cant really tell you what it might be. sorry, and thanks a ton for any info you got

Could be something simple like an oil pan gasket leak, could be the oil cooler line(s) leaking, the front cover, lots of things...

Only thing to do at this point is to clean everything up and have another go at tracking it down...
