I've been having the white blast of smoke at startup in the warmer months for 2 years now...my mechanic is finally telling me what I've always known..that my 2000 9-3 with 137K miles has a failing turbo..question is..can I leave it as is..the performance has never suffered and after the initial blast of smoke dissapates the exhaust is fine...I'm spending some big bucks on some other fixes right now so can I leave this problem be for the time being?

- If one puff on start-up, probably a turbo gasket leak, Mark Anderson, Fri, 24 Mar 2006 10:47:57
