I recently purchased my first Volvo which is a '97 850 GLT turbo. The car has a little over 140,000 miles on it and is in excellent condition. It doesn't appear to burn any oil but leaks quite a few drops of oil and a couple of drops of coolant after parking overnight. after cleanig the back of the engine, the oil seems to be coming from the bottom of the turbo. I have had it in to a local shop several times for repair and they have sealed the oil return line, and replaced the driver side rear cam seal. Neither of these repairs has made any difference in the amount of leakage. Does the turbo have any other replaceble seals or gaskets that don't involve rebuilding or replacing the complete turbo? Any other suggestions on where this oil/coolant may be coming from?
