Looking for RX8 Mech... Oklahoma
Well, Got a oil leak front end of motor... Need to find reliable mechanic in oklahoma.
The location of which the leak is... Front of rotary engine, Center, but slightly off to the right.... in 2 1/2 hours had a quarter size spot on the ground. Losing a decent amount of oil I suppose. Any comments about what it is, Is still very welcome. Taking a guess that any oil leak means engine (tada obvious) but which part may be causing the problem. Still very interested in finding a mech in oklahoma to consult and, or possibly assist me in fixing the issue.

Right where I am point has been the center of the oil leak. It mostly has landed on the under carriage. There was a wire right in that area attached to the block, with fluid down it.

from there it is most likely something to do with the omp. It sits directly below where you are pointing.
the front main seal is kind of close. It should not be extremely dificult to replace the front main seal, but RIWWP is right. There is a special stack of pieces in there that are held in place by the bolt on the front of the engine. If you pull it and the eshaft slides into the engine the bearing can get misaligned then when you tighten it will get crushed and cause your engine to fail quickley.
