I did not check the oil control spring when I rebuilt my engine and think that it is a little weak.
Also how can oil become gas saturated in a rotary? Any input? I am still learning about rotaries.

oil becomes gas saturated in a rotary when the fuel leaks past the oil control rings into the engine. it doesnt really take much fuel to screw up your oil...

I thought the oil was too thin also but it has always been 20w50 and is fresh. I need to check the length of the oil control spring, I guess.
I was thinking "blow-by" to be caused by combustion. You are talking about a severely flooded engine to get raw gas past oil control rings, correct? Thanks for the info.
