my new car and its issue

I am now an official owner of a 1987 Turbo II.

and, it has only 45,000 miles on it.


It does have on problem that we believe to be a vacuum leak:
At idle (which is around 1700 RPM after the Accelerated warmup thing is done) the engine doesnt seems to misfire. This problem does not occur at higher RPM.

Any clues as to what this could be?
and whats the best brand of oil/type of oil to be using in NE around this time of year?

That is some loooooooow miles, very nice find.

Give her a full tune up:
Plugs
Wires
Fuel Filter
Oil Change, 10w40, when it gets hotter use 20w50. Many reccomend Castrol GTX.
