What I love most about my Volvo is the many fixes that are low dollar or FREE! My ABS modulator (unit below brake fluid reservoir) was leaking brake fluid. I have TRACS and Turbo. New price of this part; $1600 OEM. The systems on 850 model years varies, the 95 ABS part is unique, I do believe. FCP Groton hooked me up with the power bleeder and ATE blue fluid. I bled and flushed brake system. Leak has not returned, Brake light has not been on in 6 months! I believe that there was moisture and contaminants that may have caused boiling and fluid leakage. Change your brake fluid every few years or when it gets caramel color, especially if you have hi-tech, hi-$ ABS components.

May someone else in need find my post. Thanks to all whose posts have made me a successful Volvo fixer!
