turbo Oil leak...not return line 850

Hello...

Me again, In less than a week, I've replaced my thermostat and recharged my a/c. Next is the aweful oil leak!

I've crawled under and it does not seem to be coming from the oil lines as described on Bay13 from volvospeed. I see a little oil dripping from the turbo area...any other common oil leak areas???

My car is now at the dealer for a recall, and I am debating on letting them diagnose at $85 per hour!!

Any help is greatly appreciated...and thank you all again for the help with the therm. and the a/c.

    turbo Oil leak...not return line 850 1995

    Hi Harry!

    Hoping you can help me.

    Took my 1995 850 Turbo to the mechanic the other day. Told him I was adding 1/2 quart oil weekly. After checking my vehicle he told me the turbo was gone and had to be replaced at the low cost of $1,300. I don't think it is my turbo because I had it replaced 2 years ago and at that time it was gone. It made a terrible whining noise and blue smoke poured out of the exhaust. This is not happening now and my turbo needle on the instrument panel does work. I know there is oil leaking somewhere under there and it sprays all the way to the back of the vehicle (underneath). Any suggestions for me? I'd appreciate any info!

    Thanks for your time!

    Laurie
