I didn't believe in the continuum before...but now I do.
Car has been sitting in the garage for two days...
I decided to fix the passenger heated seat (yes I live in Florida, but when it gets to the 50's at night, that's mighty cold for us!), found the problem to be the thermostat in the seat. I'm excited it's not a broken element somewhere(or should I say my girlfriend is). Turn the car on so I don't drain the battery...and smoke comes out of the exhaust!
Let the car idle a bit, accelerate for a while, smoke finally stops (I really don't think this is due to condensation from sitting).
Sound like a leaking turbo to anyone? Are the seals a DIY job?
I checked my oil level, down half a quart! Changed oil 1,500 miles ago.
Any advice on how to verify the seals at the turbo are the culprit?
TIA,
Boris 88SPG, 129,000 miles
