1985 Mazda RX7 Two Wheel Drive Manual 67,000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I backed my car up and all the oil spilled out. The service station said I need a new oil cooler, but at the time they wanted $700.00 to fix it and now the mazda dealer said they don't make them anymore. I think that either the o-rings or the lines going from the oil cooler came off, any ideas?

Hi there,

Wash it down and top up the oil, run the engine and see where the leak is, if it is from the core, you will need a new cooler, if so, have a word to your radiator repaired as they may be able to help.
