I have owned an '89 744 Turbo for about 7 months now. You are lucky that the PO has taken care of it. I'm still fixing all the small things on mine that were negelected. You definately want to pull the intake hose to turbo off and check the turbo for excess play. since you said it was running strong, then this is probably not an issue (mine is 170k and still running strong). But as other posts have said, change your oil/filter!!! this is one of the most critical parts of owning a turbo. make the change to synth for your own reasons. everyone here has their own opinion on the synth oil issue. but to reitirate previos posts: front/rear seals, oil cap gasket, plugs/wires/distributor/rotor, engine/trans mounts, and PCV system(this will lead to oil leaks, I know. I'm still dealing with them). I think that should cover it. Even if you had to replace all those items, you're only looking at..maybe..$600..tops. Good luck and welcome.
