ok so got a 96 sypder gst (about 180,000) and the turbo is shot, feels like the car only has like 90hp and barely accelerates...therefore I know i need a new turbo. But anywho, yesterday i started the car up and it sputtered upon starting, then went away a couple seconds later. after driving for about 15 minutes I noticed the car was overheating. coolant resivor had coolant in it still but when i opened the main cap i was bone dry i put more cooant in and look under the car and it looks as if coolant is spilling slowly behing the engine (i will have to check this weekend to see where exactly it is coming from though). Also had a pretty good sized oil leak. This car has always had oil leaks and cant seem to stop them, can anyone help me to provide all the seal and gaskets that oil could possibly come from and that way i can try to replace them all and see if that solves the oil leak issue. also car somes a little (whitish-greyish) color out the exhaust

also i know this may be a newbie question: is the stock turbo on 96 2.0 gst spyder a t25? if so i am looking for one if anyone is selling

That and while you are fixing the headgasket, you can send in your turbo and have it rebuilt.

you think its cheaper to get it rebuilt or cheaper to just buy a used one in working condition. as for sending off to be rebuilt whats a good reputable place?
