Thanks for the tips. I have to plead ignorance...I don't know much about cars and am trying to learn as I go. I did check the oil and the coolant and both are low. I had this problem along with a leaking main seal on my last 940 Turbo when I bought it and it gave me serious headaches. I'm just afraid that I've walked into another oil burner. I also learned pretty quickly with my 940 that I'm kind of a putz with engines since I spilled some engine oil when refilling in the side of I95, and it resulted in a small engine fire. Yup, real smooth on my part...I'm trying though.

Anyway, I'll try checking it weekly to see if I can guage how much oil I'm losing. I'm more concerned about what I'll have to do if the car is burning a significant amount of oil...other than continuing to check and refill on a regular basis.

Thanks again,

Kurt
