Is it a Turbo? What kind of oil do you use? Have you checked the
crankcase breather? Does it make any unusual noises at idle? How many
miles?
Sincerely,

I'm following the wife as she drives our 87 190D and I notice smoke
out the
tailpipe. Then I smell the burning oil.
Just when she accelerates.
Checked and it was about 1.5 qt. low on oil.
Filled it after it sat for a weekend, and hoped it wouldn't smoke as
much
when cool. But the first slight hill she climbed, there was the
smoke and
smell.
The thing still starts right up and runs normally.
Oh Well!
Now we are weighing getting the engine fixed vs. just going a
different
direction.
We just need a reliable car that gets the best mileage possible.
Wonder how much the ring job would be?
Or what else I can do to help the thing last a while.
