Hi all -- My 135 K '83 900 Turbo has been running beautifully. I run mobil 10-30 W synthetic oil. But as the weather has turned cool, I seem to have developed a strange problem. I don't appear to be burning oil, but when I start the car, I get a little smoke from the exhaust, which increases for the first mile or two, and then seems to go away. I lost a alternator waterpump belt a few weeks back, and the engine did badly overheat. I changed the oil and oil filter. What should I look for? Could it be a valve problem? A turbo problem? Thanks, Jim n0spam (at) verizon.net
