oil leak!

[HAMPTON]

notice ive aquired an oil leak on my 1998 c70 T5, on insepection the bottom half of my turbo is caked in oil and the leak is quite severe. i cant pin point where its coming from. is this a common problem? any help would be muchly appreciated

sounds like oil return pipe seal. try and give it a good clean and see where its coming from.
a camera phone with auto focus and a flash will come in handy.

You can get the turbo oil return seals from Volvo for less than a £10

Tried my local volvo dealer (crewe) and they really not helpful at all! Has anyone got the part numbers for the seal and gasket? Thanks
