Since purchasing with approximately 143,000 miles, the engine has used a *lot* of oil, a quart every 670-900 miles(!) A mechanic friend suggested adding Seafoam to the engine oil, which I did for approximately 200 miles before changing the oil. We'll see if it helps. |

Two (plastic!) coolant bleeder screws were broken and leaking near the supercharger. Had to be tapped out, remnants of plastic in threads removed, and new screws installed.

After sitting for that month, oil consumption has fallen to nearly 900 miles last time I checked. Quite bizarre! |
