Took the car for a 24 mile round trip drive to my Sister in laws house. Everything went pretty well actually well, the car didn't lose power at all. While driving up a big hill I saw a small white puff of smoke out the exhaust, so I pulled over to check everything and it all all fine, no oil all over the engine bay, no oil in the turbo inlet, I didn't check the catch can but I will before I drive it again. I Noticed that when coming to a stop at around 10mph or so there was a grinding noise coming from the passenger side front wheel. I checked the wheel bearings awhile ago so I don't think it's that. I think that it's the brake dust shield rubbing on the rotor.
When I got to their house i smelled hot coolant and popped the hood and it looks like my thermostat housing is still leaking out the bottom, all over my bell housing.
On the way home it started to rain, and I had no clue how these tires were going to hold up in the rain but they did pretty well. I didn't do anything crazy but I didn't feel any hydroplaning or slipping at all.
My wideband gauge vs what it says in link is different by about .3 too, even though it's set on linear using the scaling factor that came with the wideband sensor.
All in all it was a nervous drive but it went well.
