Check plugs: a bad HG could be diagnosed by white ashes on the electrodes or oily surfaces (look into spak plugs holes and see if it's wet).Sometimes a cracked head (like mine) lets antifreeze drip into combustion chamber an clean up spark plug tip. Another check: oil. Pull the oil dipstick: just il on the tip, no white foam or smal bubbles (oil emulsion). Open the antifreeze reservoir: no signs of oily matter on antifreeze surface. Pull the plastic dust from turbocharger: (air filter side) no huge oil traces or Turbo could be more or less leaking. (sometimes from a clogged air filter...)
If car runs good, that's enough. A 13 YRS old car is not brand new so, some issues age-related are physiological. (despite just 130k mi)
