car booked in tomorrow for oil leak

[p0xy]

well the cars booked in the garage tomorrow to see where the oil leak is coming from. He put it up on the ramps when i was there and all the back of the engine is covered in clean engine oil so he is gonna clean all the oil off to see where its comin from..

Could be the gasket between the cam cover and the head, mine is the same just not too bad.

Maybe a half litre every 2 months or so :grumpy:

Special liquid gasket from Volvo is about £30 unless you can find a cheaper alternative and you need cam lock tools as well :B_thumb:

Hope you get it sorted mate! Let us know the outcome I for one will be interested!!

well the garage phoned me this mornin and said they think it was the gasket on the oil return pipe from the turbo.. they changed the gasket in it and that was the cause... it xost me just under £42 to get it done, so im pleased about that and it wasnt any of the other gaskets :)

Made me laugh - "booked in for an oil leak" - normally cars develop these without you having to go get one from a garage.
