Transmission fluid disappearing
I have an automatic tranny on my 85 gs, i lose transmission fluid every like 100 miles. My car starts to slip in first gear, and my exhaust does smell a little abnormal. Im not sure if white smoke coming from my exhuast everytime i start the car is normal either.

try the vacuum modulator.
pull the line where it goes into the intake to see if its got fluid in it.
its just a plastic diaphram,ive seen several develop a small leak that allows atf to enter the engine and get burned, which would also explain the funny exhaust smell.

I had lots of issues with the rear seal where the driveshaft meets the tranny...
Suggestion only..... if you aren't to picky about keeping the car original, get a 5 speed, I was told that it made a huge difference in acceleration. Not to mention how much fun you'll have.
