1. normal
2. lots of 93's were misbadged... you should have a m104 engine.... 3.2
3. m104's are prone to oil leaking as a result of a bad headgasket. m103's are more likely to blow out and the issue becomes anti-freeze in the oil, or just blowing out from overheating. Don't know about signs.. a good job would show no signs... however they may have replaced front cover timing chain gasket... then you might see some newer sealant. I think that would be a good sign.. other good signs would be a shinier water pump...
advice... change all fluids... get zerex g-5 anti-freeeze... yellow stuff
