1988 10th AE Issues

I just test drove a 10th AE Turbo II and loved it. I do have a few concerns however and was wondering what you guys thought?

1. My biggest concern is that the car had that stupid 3800rpm hesitation. Is this a big deal?

2. Normal electrical issues like the light for AC, sunroof was a bit touchy, antenna was sticky, and so on.

3. Guy said there was a slight oil drip on the back of the engine. (?)

4. When I first started driving it, was testing out the AC and there was a white smoke coming through the vent for a bit. It didn't smell like gas, and it went away after a while, but nonetheless, concerning.

Thanks for any help/advice you guys can give

If the stuff coming out of the A/C vents was more like a mist then that likely means the compressor is releasing the rest of the freon due to a failing seal inside it.

The hesitation is most likely a grounding problem but it could also be something wrong w/the secondary injectors besides something where a grounding fix is the solution.

That's what I was thinking, nothing major I'm hoping. About the AC, is that an easy fix? What would I have to do to get that in working order?

A rebuilt compressor perhaps?
