Dude, listen here.

I had the exact same problems when I bought my RX-8. It is not a big deal. The Renesis is just a 13B when it comes down to it.

Kenetsu is heading the right direction with the additive, but I found something better. Bars Leaks makes a Ceramic Head Gasket Repair in a bottle. It is about $30, and works AWESOME. Although the Alumaseal is good, and works, it still has metal particulate in it. You don't want that in your combustion chambers. The Ceramic stuff is silicate glass, and will not damage the rotor housings.

Trust me on this, I did mine right after DGRR, and it has been holding strong ever since. Have not lost ANY coolant, and no more smoke or startup issues.

Mine was so bad, that after sitting overnight, the spark plugs would be wet with coolant.

I picked up my bottle at the local Advance Auto Parts.
