I an a once proud owner of a 1988 XJ-S with 78,000mi. The car has been relitively trouble-free until recently. There is a loud "clunk" from the front end when I roll over something substatnial. Could this be the bushings???? I have a terrible oil leak near the right front, which I believe to be transmission fluid. Is this the transmission oil cooler leaking, or some other strange English anomoly?? I have saved the worst for last. There is blue smoke from the right tail pipe under hard acceleration. The local dealer thinks this is valve guides, which he will gladly fix for $2500. Otherwise, he says to just keep driving the beast. Does anyone have any idea as to whether this is a wise suggestion? If so, I would appreciate your feedback.
