Subject: 1987 saab 9000 turbo and CLOUDS OF WHITE SMOKE


about 2 weeks ago i dropped my car off at a commuters lot. on my way there, the car started smoking (white) and stalled a couple of times. i had to keep the RPMs up to avoid the stalling. eventually the car would barely move and the smoke got worse. i just made it into a parking space and figured id deal with it when i returned. today i started up the car and OH my god.... the smoke that immediately came pouring out was thicker than the clouds i had just flown through coming into the airport. i limped home, thick white smoke everywhere (i had to go less than a mile thankfully). the car barely made it up the steep driveway. i floored it and it moved 1/2mph but made it. i'm pretty much planning on sending it off to saab heaven at this point but was wondering if there's a chance it might look worse than it really is. other symptoms... about 4 weeks ago the car started leaking coolant. i dont know where it was going because it wasnt dripping onto the driveway. i got low on coolant and the thermostat clogged (but the car never got into the dangerous hot zone on the gauge). i had the cooling system flushed and the thermostat replaced. its still leaking coolant (i can hear it hissing when i open the hood but cant find the leak... i sprayed soapy water in the area and looked for bubbles). basically ive been topping off the coolant every few days. dunno if this has anything to do with it since ive been keeping coolant in the car and the engine never got too too hot. thanks!
