I suggest you contact Hurley Engineering. It’s likely to be an eye watering sum as I think the whole dashboard has to come out!

Re: Recommended mechanic for Mazda RX-8 in area of Coventry
I would be tempted to try K-Seal. It's one of those cures that either works or it doesn't, depending on the nature of the leak.
Unlike some other leak cure additives, it is trusted to remain in circulation without causing blockages.
Available from many retailers including https://www.racingbeateurope.com/k-seal ... 1229-p.asp

I used something like that K-seal but it doesn’t cures it completely. It just cure for like 1,5 month so… I’ll have to replace it

I would suggest nutty chappie, he knows what he is doing and isn't too far away and although I may regret this I find his prices to be cheap compared to many. Hurley's although local are more of an engine specialist and they aren't particularly cheap for general maintenance work, but do know their stuff with engines. Ryan rotary performance are more engine and mods and tend to be unbelievably busy
