coolant seals?
stock 87' TII
so I turned on my car today, (I daily drive it) and it kept getting close to dying and I had to give it a small amount of gas to keep it alive, even while doing that it was still faltering alot. smoke was coming out like normal when It began to idle normally and I started pulling away down the street but it was alot thicker than it normally is. I started going down the road and alot more smoke came out even as it was at operating temperature (the smell was that of coolant ofcoarse), I quickly turned back for home at this point.
when I parked, I turned off my car and popped the hood. I found that my upper radiator hose is leaking and its dripping around the turbo and onto the block, I was wondering if its actually being taken in by the turbo? I tried to start my car again to see how bad the leak was but it wouldnt fire up it only cranked. a bit after I stopped cranking the engine smoke would come out of the exhaust for a little.

so I was finally able to get it started today, it was being really stubborn and when it ran it would be shaking like crazy, it seemed to clear up at a certain point and would idle on its own. no bubbles coming up when the rad cap is off. so I guess it somehow got into the intake?
