I have an 86 n/a rx7 with 46k miles on the engine. I was driving home last night and the hose that goes to the intake manifold busted, the cars temp went up very quickly so I turned off the car right away and fixed the hose. I let the car cool down, added coolant and tried to drive home. The temp started to rise so I turned it off and added more coolant. I got the car home but now its having a hard time starting. I did manage to get it started and its smoking a lot and smells sweet so I fear the coolant seals are gone.
