Miata Engine Oil Leaks Maintenance Guide

Oil leaks are some of the most frustrating maintenance problems. Fortunately, they are also often easy to repair or prevent.

Let's face it, most Spec Miata or other Miata race car builds start as high mileage street cars that are not always maintained to a high standard. Unless you are planning to completely rebuild your engine, there may be a few minor repairs to consider before taking your car on track.

Engine oil leaks are common on higher mileage engines and, if not repaired, can cause a real mess when it comes time to make repairs to your car. If you have changed out a clutch on an early Miata with a cam angle sensor "O" ring leak, you know what I mean!
