Mine was smoking from dripping oil when I first got it. I could swear that I smelled engine oil, but, when it took it in to have it looked at, the techs found that the tranny cooler line was leaking and dripping tranny fluid onto the exhaust. Those rubber lines have a way of getting brittle due to extreme heat. On the 92's they used a clamp that did not hold up well. You might check the clamps also and replace with worm gear clamps as opposed to the wire clamps (if that's what they used on the '95's). Just a thought.
