Turbo, RTV, Block off plates, and advice...

Well if you said it was fuel coming out, then its probably a stuck injector and not a vac leak at all.


Also, a side note on your engine info. 2150 sounds a bit "cheap" for a reman engine installed, even back in 1997. Remans are tagged and you should be able to see this tag on the front cover area (if looking from the front, it should be visible near the CAS and below the alt, tucked in a little), or possible on the rear iron on the drivers side.

Either way, if you dont see a tag, I'm betting on it being a used motor, bought from a salvage yard and installed. Not that its a bad thing, just something to consider. You may have more miles on that engine than you think...

The only tag I've seen on the engine so far is a stamp that read FR97 on the rear rotor housing. 2150 was just for the engine itself. Not for the install. I don't think it's a reman from Mazda as it has hymlar used (I believe the FSM calls for crisco or some other lubricant to install the water seals).
