Well, I must say that I enjoyed the test drive of the 1990 240sx xe very much. It is a fun little car, and I would really like to purchase it. However I didn't because of a problem I noticed when looking under the hood. The Gasket seemed to be spewing out oil around one of the bolts, enough oil that half of the gasket (which was "just steamcleaned" according to the salesman) was coated in oil. This also caused the engine to smoke quite a bit. How serious of a problem is this? Will it be cheap/relatively easy to fix? The rest of the car is great for being a 90, I would really like to get it, but I couldn't buy it without knowing what was up and I wasn't in a situation where I could take it to a mechanic and have them look at it. Thanks for your time.
