Evening chaps
As my stage zero continues on the V70R, I've had a bit of time looking it over whilst doing the coils and plugs. I got underneath and noticed a couple of leaks.
If anyone has an experience and could help to identify them that would be great.
1) The first leak could be the old angle gear going, the bottom of the angle gear is wet , but looks to me as if oil is coming from above on to the AG box and the worst mess seems to be around the passenger side edge of the AG. I've recently 'sucked' out the original oil and replaced it and seem too remember the amount I got out was close to the max fill amount, and certainly wasn't dry.
As I look up I can see oil on the bottom of the turbo housing (?)
2) Leak number two appears to be coming from the timing end of the engine , first pic is taken from drivers side wheel well.
This appears to run toward the back of the car and ends up near the oil cooler
The last pic is looking down the plastic cam cover , you can see a bit of black oil on the inside.
Additional info - I've had the car since 2004 and believe the PCV was done around 5 years ago (I would have to re-check) the glove test is OK, no dipstick tube blowing out, no oil around coils, always fully synthetic, regular serviced at main dealer and as far as I can tell under the inlet manifold looks to be OK , next pic.
Any insights gratefully received - Jon
