i'm just concern, my anti freeze had been buzzing since i bought the car last summer, (a month later after the purchase)..car runs fine no overheating, guage before halfway, so i would think its the sensor..

i would normally add more coolant and tries to bleed it from the bleed screw off the rad and would normally fix the buzzn' thinking that the sensor on the rad aint sensing any fluid, which it isnt..

later today it started buzzn again and this time i took off the coolant sensor off the rad and added fluid from there, atleast a bottle of cocca-cola(water)..boom, fixed!

i was about to get some gas and so i thought i'd ride on my 1st gear and so i did, up to 4k for atleast 20sec..to sort of give my secondary injectors abit of an excercise, i heard u shouldn't baby ur car, too much is not good..
anyways, just to finish off my revving, i tried quick rev close to the red line
(NOT a sudden WOT)..7k...

when i got home after gassing, i saw coolant leaking underneath my car!!
damn pls dnt tell me my engine is blown, i mean big damage that would cost me big dollars...
one thing for sure, the car IS running as normal as always..but knowing i'm just a begginer on rotaries, i'm not sure wats happening.. i'll take a look tomoro

help..pls

N/A or turbo?

where is the leak comin from? maybe u have a hose leak or a clamp loose...

it can be many things..

oh and p.s. temp guage "halfway" is not normal... mine hardly breaks 1/4

Turbo..

isnt it?
turbo = almost or halfway on the factory guage is a normal thing?
N/A = 1/4?

hey,

your temp gauge going to halfway is totally normal, i dnt know of too many cars th@ dnt sit on the halfway mark or just under,

I think you can now find and fix the small leak you have had all along.

Overheating is bad, but it sounds like you have kept the cooling system from getting too low.

i'd suggest checking the heater hose under the oil filter. btw, where is the leak comming from, if you don't know, bring it up to temp and look for the leak
