OK. I was going to bring this 1995 850 turbo w/133K back to the guy I bought it from but I have decided to keep it. Despite the fact it leaked oil and needed a new fuel pump and turbo intercooler hose in the first 2 days I owned it.

It was leaking oil somewhat steadily. Turned out to be a poor quality seal used to replace the distributor assembly seal.(What a difference parts quality can make!).The leaking seal looked almost new...just poor quality! The oil cooler lines are leaking too and I will replace them.

I'm pretty sure the dash lights flickering on and off intermittently is probably the dash light dimmer switch and rheostat. How does that come out?

I will attempt to get some offset from the guy I bought it from.
I like the car too much and now that I know it's not huge issues, I am inclined to keep it rather then keep hunting.
Next on the list is changing the trans. fluid. I will either use my suction tank or do the radiator line method. I will use dino ATF though. I think I will stick with a 5W-30 synthetic blend oil for it going forward too.

Also, I detect the smell of coolant inside the car. I cannot tell if it is residual from a leaking and replaced heater core or the beginning of failure of the existing one. I will keep a steady eye on the coolant level and note if the interior windows fog too quickly. The heater core is not a deal breaker either.

The AC works pretty well. I will also change the cabin air filter to attempt to keep it that way. Don't want to have to replace the evaporator! In fact it goes I probably won't!
