Will I Ruin My Cat Converter? 900 1994


Last week I determined that my turbo oil seals were shot, and the unit is shooting oil causing my tailpipe to smoke when the car is warmed up and idling.

I am pursuing a good used Turbo on line but won't be able to get it for a few days. Meanwhile, I need to gingerly drive the car a few miles to work each day, for a few more days (maybe 20 miles total, 40 mph, without turbo boost).

I know I can kill the catalytic converter by driving this way, but can I get away with a few more miles?

Sorry for the dumb question.
