Paid a visit to my local Volvo dealer yesterday to order a few bits, including an oil filler cap seal.
Got chatting to the nice man, and he asked why I wanted one. I explained about the known seal problem that can allow an oil leak.
He suggested that I check whether the flametrap was blocked, and said that Volvo now recommend the complete removal of flametrap as it tends to block the breather pipe, thus causing the oil seal to leak (it's the weak point under pressure). This was confirmed by one of the mechanics.
Now, the only problem I have is to spot where the bl**dy thing is located! - Think I need some diagrams/pics! (I've Googled, but only mention is from non-turbo engine).
Any help appreciated.
