Hi Everyone,
I am looking at a 90 760 GLE Turbo Wagon, auto, leather, power everything it seems, sunroof, rear seat, 250,000kms (155,000mi). It is at a car dealer so I know the price is going to be a bit high but he is willing to move on it some. The car is in very nice shape, no rust, no dents, no rips (but some wear to the leather). Everything appears to be working and it comes with a safety inspection from a mechanic that I trust. I noticed when it starts there is a slight puff of blue that clears up instantly...it does not push blue when revved. The is also a drip of oil between the engine and tranny...but no puddle under the car. The tires are fairly new Michelin X's. I would like to know if the puff of blue and the drip of oil are things that I should be overly concerned about. I am interested in this car mostly for highway and pulling a teardrop trailer.

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks in advance :)

James in Edmonton
