Hi! Not sure if I'm correct here, just joined the group.
A solid 2 months ago I bought a lovely 1997 300ZX Z32 in a beautiful purple color. It's been a great car so far and I love it with all my soul as it's the first sports car I've owned since I am only 20 🤣
I did encounter a problem yesterday after work though. My front windshield wipers always worked with no problem, showing no signs of giving up. Then, on my way home from work, as I turned them on in the rain, they swiped once and then stopped working. I pulled over to check if turning the car on and off would solve it, which it didn't. I was able to freely move them around but as soon as they reached the top position (vertically infront of my view), they blocked there completely.
I replaced the fuse and checked the relay, both of which don't seem to have any issues. When I try to turn the wipers on, all I hear is the motor or the relay seemingly clicking twice before going quiet.
The washers however work, and tge rear wiler as well with no issues.
What could the problem be?

problems ive got
grey smoke when i first start up the car,lasts about 30 secs
1,smokey when i leave my car run at idles for about 15 mins
puff of smoke usually last 30 secs( grey smoke,not black,blue or white)
sometimes i get a puff off smoke when i put my foot down,this is not very often tho( grey smoke,not black,blue or white)
2 goosehonk and a high pitch noise from right turbo( i think its the turbo?i only hear the high pitch at 0+ boost)
after doing an oil change.
i noticed oil on lower oil feed pipe(gasket to right turbo)i couldnt see oil any higher.
i noticed oil coming from front,area around fan belts, im guessing its the fly wheel,oil leaking ,not much,from inbetween the flywheel and engine.
im guessing its the fly wheel but i am really guessing,if you lay directly under the car its the large cog
any help with these problems will be very much appreciated
my thoughts are
1,turbo going bad(reason for this is high pitch noise,oil from lower of turbo,maybe goosehonk-- recirs not working and im getting back pressure?)
2 oil leak at front,(would bad pcv valves cause pressure build up and this is the reason for leak at front and maybe turbo oil leak)
any help from you guys would be appreciated thanks JZXTURBO
