Your running symptoms sound nothing like mine. My car runs better when warm, doesn't smoke except upon startup, and seems to be leaking from just that one place.

I've got it at another mechanic who some on the board here have recommended, so we'll see what he says.

I really wish I had the time to get under the car and degrease, but I work too late, and can't do it.
