Probesport, that Mazda engine looks good, but if you examine the pictures closely, you will notice that whoever put it in the car got it completely sideways! <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />

Mine looked GREAT befor the oil pressure dropped out and I started spewing oil like a ***** tonite... AFTER the leakage.. well at least my undercariage is well lubed.. <img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/clean1.jpg" alt=" - " /> <img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/clean2.jpg" alt=" - " />
and the aftermath of the pan gasket going.. at the same time..

However, IIRC the "Autobahn" brand coolant sold by U.S. dealers was pink. Certainly a "different" look in a new expansion tank .

Chris! Forgot to tell you - after you change the oil pan gasket, you need to make sure none of it got onto the motor mounts, CV boots, or anything rubber; if it's on it, clean it immediately! It will eat at it, otherwise.
