Not a rotor? Not a motor.

Leaking oil and/or coolant
Just wondering what the first places to check for leaks were - it's not dripping alot so its not an obvious spot.. but i know im losing both oil and coolant somewhere..
any weird spots, that could be potencial leaks?

For oil, there is this one heater hose that plugs into the rear iron right underneath the oil filter. You could also check if some oil is leaking under the oil filter pedestal since the orings do get old. For coolant, you might want to check the coolant lines going to the firewall and rear iron near the transmission.

It would be much easier to identify the source if you could tell us which side of the engine you think it is leaking from and an approximate location front, rear, center, etc
How much coolant and oil are you having to add? If it is alot and there are no apparent heavy leaks then it could be internal.
