[V8] new V8 owner; first set of questions.

[Miller, Chris]

Just drove home a new to me 1993, pearl with black interior, with a
number of issues.
Fixed the "loose rack"; got the sunroof to close; currently drying out
the interior.  The paint clearcoat issues remain...  Need to inspect the
timing belt as there are few records with the car...then replace the
front outer CV boot.

Part way home the fuel mileage suddenly plummetted, and the car ran very
rich with the check engine light.  On decel (fuel cut) check engine
light goes out.  At first intermittent; soon became major power loss and
10mpg.  I'm sure the plugs are pretty fouled.  Managed to limp all the
way home.

I borrowed Vag-com and got some codes, but don't have info on them
handy.  Listed below.

Several leaks; looks like at the pump (o-rings); plus I get an oil leak
and smoke at the plenum on the passenger's side.

No A/C; will have to add a charge to find the leak(s).
