Is this in a RX7?

I didn't know RX-7s had head gaskets. :p

mazda rx7 engine issues
 
Can anyone help me with my problem, my kid blew his radiator and water got mixed in with the oil, someone told him about a coolant seal, I do not know anything about mazda engines, if someone can give me a good direction to start I would appreciate it very much, thank you:(

There are a number of potential trouble areas in a situation like this; your best bet would be to take it to a professional with experience on the rotary Wankle engine in the RX-7. Like as not, this is going to be a relatively expensive fix.

If this is an RX7, more than likely it is the coolant o-rings. This will require a full teardown & rebuild. Blowing the rad would not have caused this. Driving the car for an extended period overheating would have. What year is the RX7?
