Check your oil pan for evidence of coolant. There
are two freeze plugs under the front cover and if they were leaking, the oil can
go into the oil pan also.

Coolant from front cover? Hmmm.. Unless this is a
Renesis, I don't think there is any coolant in that area to leak. Let us
know what turns up.

where near as exciting as a first flight(congrats, btw, however, my rotary
Velocty made it on a news feature for the local ABC affiliates Live at Five
show on Monday. The reporter lives in the city in whcih I am a cop and
he really liked the lawyer turned cop building an airplane thing.
It
may take a minute to load, and I think you have to have allow active X
controls, but you can view the video at www.LoneStarVelocity.com
Since they shot the
footage last Monday, 4-13-09, I have reassembled the engine and fired it up
last night for the first time AGAIN. It is currently running rough due
to only intial timing set, but since it was 2:00am I only ran it about 10
minutes at fast idle. Just before I shut it down, I noticed it leaking
coolant from the front cover. I had not tightened a nut properly....or
so I hope that is all it is <g>. Hope to get out there again
soon to continue the progress.
All the best,
Chris
