Hello All,
Been awhile since my last post. Finally got around to working on the 98 S70 Glt 225k over the weekend. New tires, Sea foamed the pcv system. Sealed a radiator leak. Car seemed to be running perfectly. Drove to work this morning around 75 mph on the interstate hit the pedal to pass someone and cel comes on and I'm smelling oil. finally get off at the nearest exit car is smoking, pop the hood oil everywhere. I was able to get it restarted once after the tow but no more. Water leaking out the bottom of the engine. Oil level seems to be holding steady but who knows. I really don't know where to start looking on this car.

Any Thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeff

    Antifreeze leaking out the bottom of the engine???? You have had ample time to look for an oil leak, but it wasn't addressed.
    How did you 'patch' the radiator leak?
