Common places for oil leaks are; front main, valve cover gasket, and cam seals. The rear main should be inspected every 30,000 miles. The oil pan gasket usually won't give you many problems, and if it looks as though it is, take off the timing cover to make sure it is not the front main seal.

Hi there,
I'm interested in knowing a little more about your Mazda as I think I am the current owner. From your description, it would seem that I purchased it from the person who bought it from you in 2011. If it happens to be the same truck, it is still running beautifully on Vancouver Island with 180,xxx km and a new transmission that I just installed.
I love this little truck and if it is the same one that you owned, thank you for taking such good care of it as it has made my life so much easier and less expensive. If it is not the same little blue b2200, I still agree with every good thing you've had to say about yours. Cheers!

It's probably the o-rings need to be replaced. If it blows a little smoke, that's your problem. I have the same truck and the same problem. Although it's been a VERY reliable vehicle thus far!
