I drive an automatic 1995 SL1 with about 175,000 miles.  Recently I've
started to hear a "fluttering" noise (something mechanical spinning/winding
down) immediately after starting my car.  The noise lasts no more than two
seconds and stops before I even put the car into gear.  ...

don't be shocked, but this is an actual post in this near-dead group! LOL
I've googled this problem out on the web and have not found anything
similar, so I've turned here in hopes that some of the knowledgeable people
are still lurking around and can help me out....

Anyone have any idea what is the best course to follow here. Left front
bucket seat edge totally worn out to the springs. Should I take it to a seat
repair place (if I can find one), or are there new seats for a 94 that would
be a better choice?

googled this topic and have found mixed answerers, some say 12 gal, or
15 or 16?
