5ktq startup smoke puff...

[Bruno Walter <brunow@thepentagon.com>]

I've got the puff of smoke on startup symptom on my 86 5k CD TQ, and
from what I've heard on the list, this usually means the turbo seals are
worn.

I checked the turbo shaft, and there might be a tiny bit of play, but
not much.

Someone outside of the list also mentioned this could be due to leaky
injectors.  I'm wondering if this is true?  I only get a puff of smoke
if the car has been sitting between 1.5-8 hours.  This would make sense
that it might take a while for the injectors to leak down, and the fuel
would evaporate with time.

I can get a set of seals and bearings for the turbo for $140 CND, and
the injectors are around $110 CND each, so I guess all I really want is
some reassurance that it's the turbo.

If it is the turbo, how much work is it to replace the seals.  It sure
looks like it could be some good fun pulling the turbo, as all the bolts
are nice and rusty, especially the water and oil lines.
