12a rubbery smoke from engine
Posted: Thu May 22, 2014 4:10 am
Hey boys I'm in desperate need of some help with my 12a s1 rx7
Recently after driving for any length of time, my 7 will be emitting smoke from just below the exhaust manifold. The smoke has a very rubbery smell, almost exactly like a burnt out clutch. I haven't, however had any issues with the clutch.
I spotted a bit of coolant resting at the bottom of the engine. Upon inspection, I noticed that I had chewed through a whole tank of engine coolant in about a week. Furthermore, there is a significant amount of browny red build up inside the tank.
The engine has a a slight leak the whole time I've owned the car, which may have slightly worsened, but I am unsure about this.
For your reference, I live in Australia so my car is technically an sa22c not an fb, not sure if this makes a difference.
Thanks in advance guys, any help is greatly appreciated.
