Hi All,

Have been away from volvos for over 20 years but now have a little time on my hands to play with them.

Just bought a 98 awd with excessive pressure in the base. Changed all the PCV lines, installed a new drain trap, new intake manifold gasket, and cleaned the sensors.

Just took it for a drive and oil was leaking from the intercooler. It was leaking right through a little plug shaped insert located in the bottom of the intercooler. Like a good steady drip and the crankcase pressure was up slightly.

I gather from this forum that the next step would be to drive the car up on ramps and locate the turbo drain line. Remove this line and check to make sure it is not plugged. Failing this replace the turbo?

If anyone can help me that would be great.

Regards,

Steve Parkinson
