Dude, give people time to see the thread and reply... It probably doesnt help that you gave no details.

What color is the smoke? What does it smell like? TII or n/a?

Dude, you gotta wait more than 13 minutes to get impatient because no one answered your question. At least wait until it gets to the second page.
As for your question, where is the smoke coming from. I suspect is from the engine bay, so where in the engine bay? Did you just spray anything in the engine bay? Is there any noticable fire?

Qhasan31

It wasn't 13 it was like 20, 25, i believe, but yeah, its coming out the exhaust

According to the post time on the page, it was 13 minutes.
So its coming out the end of the exhaust in the right place? If so then that has nothing to do with the exhaust. That generally means something is burning inside the combustion chamber, either oil or coolant depending on the color and smell.

Whatever man, i see people post the same exact time i did and get response they need in 5 minutes.........

Ok, its an oil problem, normally, that happend because of cracked apex seal or something else?

Because people happened to be browsing the forum at the time and saw the post, it is a FORUM after all, not a chat room.



If its oil, then you have a damaged oil seal. Does it smoke alot if you rev to 4k, hold for a few seconds then let off?

Qhasan31

Yeah it does, is the oil seal easy to replace.......

Well you said TII in the other thread, so idk if it is the engine oil seal or turbo. My n/a does this and the only fix is a rebuild, but I have a s5 TII block so I am swapping them instead.

Qhasan31

its a t2 and it looks like it leaking from that area, but would it result in having no oil in the engine at all?

It looks like its coming from where, the turbo? If its coming from the turbo you can just get the turbo rebuilt or a used on in good condition for not too much. Also, neither one will result in no oil unless you go for a long time without checking your oil level. Check your oil often and fill it up as neccesary and your fine.

ok, thank you, imma take it to pineapple racing soon, thank you.....

Qhasan31

Ok the leak is not coming from the turbo and thats a fact, it looks like its coming from around the lines that are in front of the engine right after the pulley fan

Qhasan31

So does anyone have any type of thoughts.....One opinion I got from my boss, was that it could be from a crank seal, is there even a crankseal on a rotary engine?

Qhasan31

Ok I found out the reason of the leak.... As I was looking today really hard at the gas station while getting gas, i saw that there was oil building up around the oil pan gasket, so I'm about to go get a new one and install it...........
