Sup Guys...

Got a 96 850 R smoking like the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. Valve stem seals? Is it something that I should jump on immediately or ride out? Ive read some posts on here about similar problems with smoke...some say turbo, pcv, valve seals, etc. I just got a new turbo thinking that was the major probelem since I dogged the hell out of this car..taking it to the dragstrip on Sat night, then taking my parents to Church on Sunday..ha! But that wasn't the cure...flame trap was cleaned, new plugs, oil, etc done at time of turbo work. Anyways, I love this car and I don't really want to get rid of it. I just don't want to drop a ton of cash just to keep her running. She's only got a 103k, but in need of a paint job...but before I get her painted, kinda want to know how much more am I gonna have to drop before she stops smoking...just curious.
