After a while you will notice a loss of coolant too.

I am not ruling coolant seals out, but I wonder if it has the same issue my '91 has in the wintertime. If it sits for several weeks, it will always flood when you attempt to start it. It does not flood if you floor the gas before turning the key to start and then let up on it right away after the engine starts cranking. It works fine if the temperature is above about 20 degrees.

I don't know why it does this, but it does. It is fine after only a couple days or if it is warm out. I am not sure what causes this, but the symptoms are very familiar.

Mine does this all the time in the winter, 3 times a day when its cold out. No smoke or anything though, and pressure and fluids all are great so I never worried about it.
