When you drove the car:
Did you shift at 7000 rpm?
Did you go 100+mph?
Dd you corner at over 1g?
Did you brake at over 1g?
Did you do all of the above for 30 minutes continuously?

If not, your test drive proved nothing.

Please listen to what the people with the most experience are telling you. Not the people with the most posts, but the people who actually work on Miatas all day long.

Stop looking for excuses not to fix the problem. If you had put the same time and effort into fixing the oil leak, as you have put into pix and test drives, you would have fixed the problem by now.

Sorry if I sound harsh

Dave W,

From your experience does the rear main seal stay perfectly sealed with zero leakage over an entire race season?
