Yup. I took the 93SC on its first 10 mile drive in a month. Hell, its first drive in a month.
I took it on base to change the oil, plugs, wash and wax it. I did the wash first, and was pulling it up the ramp for the lift at the auto hobby shop, and I noticed a little puff of smoke. Grayish colored. Changed the oil, dropped the car and was putting oil in it, when I noticed the overflow had a lot of black specks in it.
I went to check the rad cap...oil gunked all over the cap. I didnt even bother to change the plugs, and drove it home. At the stop light right before my house, I was making clouds for the sky.
I dont get it. There was no coolant in the oil, but it is burning coolant, and there is oil in the coolant...It never overheated. The fan kicks on at the R on the temp gauge, kicks off when it get to the O. It doesnt get driven hard, except for the occasional full boost run to get on the highway.
The sad thing is that my 93 only has 48652 miles on it.
If this is the case, then I guess I know what I need to do. Now the only problem is debating on whether or not to keep it stock and original...Not only that, but now I can use my headers.
