Smell is just a drip on exchanger. |

I do miss my 951, but damn did I get a lemon! Car had been rear-ended at some point, rear ended someone else, the turbo was about ready to go, and she blew a head gasket out. Twice. Of course I didn't do my research first, so I got what was coming to me I guess. But damn that car corrupted me! I used to drive the 914 like my mom, very gingerly and always knowing that I didn't have much power in the back to make attempts to jump out into traffic. But the 951? Power corrupts. Once the turbo picked up, it was like hittin ludicrous speed!
Have fun with her! |

Smell is just a drip on exchanger. Oil catches on fire easier than fuel. Typically on something as new as your car, its most likely either a push rod tube seal that got torn during install, or a valve cover gasket that is not on quite straight and perfect. Both are simple to fix, both have slight tricks to make right. I have a lift if you want to walk underneath on Saturday. rich |
