well first off welcome to Pelican.


to help about the white smoke. white smoke is coolant burning. and that sweet smell/taste is the glucose from the anti freeze. also you can check your engine oil for what is know as a milkshake "oil/coolant mixture" also another sign of a bad headgasket. it's also a good idea to have it compression testesd before diggin in.

the power steering: most 944 power steering leaks; mostly in yor case it's a bad hose or a loose clamp.


i got my first porsche at 15; same year as yours infact. working on 44's is very easy compared to some domestic's.

if it does end up being a head gasket; after you get the cam tower off it's a breeze.
