1995 945T smoking after long park...steve ringlee??? 900 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be keefus on  Sun May 11 15:22 CST 2003 [RELATED]

My 1995 945T had been sitting for almost two weeks. This morning, for about 15 minutes after I started it, it smoked (light blue/whitish smoke). After it warmed up, no more smoke. The car has 121k miles on it, and has never smoked before. Wife recently got a 2001 V70 XC, so the old 945 doesn't get driven so much (until we sell it).

I was thinking that maybe the valve stem seals or maybe the turbo oil seals had dried out a bit, and once they got some hot oil in them, they swelled back up, and the somking stopped. I suppose we probably ought to drive it, or at least start it and let it warm up every few days.

Any other opinions or ideas?
