If this car is a turbo, there are oil cooler lines that go from the bottom of the crank to the right side of the radiator. Those lines will age and leak, and are $100+ each to repl.

The oil separator never leaks. The vacuum lines to get old, brittle, and need replacing after about 150K. Replacing the oil separator is a 5+ hour job, the intake manifold must come off.

Ask to pull off the timing belt cover, one 10/12mm bolt, and see if the cam seals are leaking. That is a hard job, but doable in the driveway.

Using a bottle of AutoRx should clean out everything where oil and vapors go. It take 1,000 miles, you must not use synthetic oil during the treatment.

Check the tranny fluid, the yellow dipstick is under the air intake tube just behind the radiator - driver's side. If the fluid is black and stinks, let someone else take the car to the crusher.

The 1995 has OBD boxes on the passenger fender. Checks tranny, fuel injection, ignition, ABS, SRS, instrument cluster, etc. A great tool.

For a basic manual, get a Haynes for the 850. There are no more Green books.

Yes there is an oil trap on the 850. I don't know how bad the job is on a 240, but its about 3-5 hours on the 850.

As a 240 owner, you probably know about the rear main seal. Make sure its not blown on this 850. Easiest way to tell is drive the car for a few minutes, then while still running look under it. Usually the oil won't drip out unless the system is pressurized. Fixing the breather system might help re-seat the seal stopping the leak, but if its too far gone, prepare for either a big job or a lot of money missing from your wallet.

If you're not driving it "like its stolen," are you really driving?

Just read David's post on cleaning the pcv . I need to get ahold of a manual ...
