Porsche 924s / 944 Questions.

I just bough a 1987 Porsche 924s. The main problem with it right now is that when I the car has run for about 3 min. Smokes starts coming from the lower left side (looking at it). I can't make out what it is. What is strange is that it smells like a belt, but you can see a lot of oil on that side of the engine. If anyone could clue me in on this that would be great. Also I have yet to find a good place on the internet to buy parts. Is there a good place out there? Is there a newsgroup for the 924s/944's?

Thanks Adam

There are other possibilities for oil leaks on that side, but "nobody"'s suggestion is the best bet.

Given that it "smells like a belt", perhaps it might be particles of the hood insulation foam falling onto hot parts of the engine. I had this on my 87 as the foam began to disintegrate.

passanger's side?
