Coolant leak
Does anyone know the name of the black plastic module that the radiator cap and overflow reservoir connect to? It seems to be leaking...

Is it leaking from the joint in the middle? You can use some gasket maker or caulk to fix the seal. I don't think you can buy that part from Mazda anymore... Mine was leaking a few days ago and probably has been leaking for some time. I was smelling the coolant, but it was so little that I couldn't find where it was coming from. Anyway, an easy fix.

The black plastic part under the cap is stocked as a complete assembly according to the Mazda parts catalogue. It's called "Tank, Air Separation" and the MX-3 P/N is K805-15-352A. In addition to a standard plastic replacement Mazda also makes (at ~2x the cost of plastic) an improved full metal replacement. Trussville Mazda had the stock plastic replacement available year before last, not sure about the metal one. Can't remember the cost but Trussville has about the best (for a dealer) pricing for Mazda parts online or otherwise.... Link below.
