Questions on typical wear and tear

I agree.. look everywhere for leaks. It's still possible that head gasket is an issue if it hasn't been done yet. Could be minor.. probably after sitting awhile the coolant sitting in the cylinders burns off upon initial startup and disappears. As well, I strongly believe 5w20 oil shouldn't have been invented. Most turbo vehicles run 10w30.. that's all I run, especially if the kms are high. As well, if ya drive it in the winter, go to a 5w30. Those engines are meant for high RPM's so ya need a heavier oil to help keep it cool. Hopefully that hepls a little. Good luck!
