Hi there
there is an XC 2002 2.4T for sale that had encountered an oil leak of up to 4 liters. It seems to be near the timing belts on the driver's side as it has hit them and sprayed upward at least onto a hose. I am wondering if it isn't simple like the PCV. Cam seals maybe? Is there a crankshaft seal? Would a rear main seal spray back towards the front?
I am told it was taken home directly (20mins) after oil light came on, on two occasions, the first time losing '4 liters' the last time the people just let the car at their home and then the for sale went on. The people (small country town) say it didn't get run empty of oil.
The only thing is it is 300 km away so I can't view it beforehand and the lady says she can't really get under the car to take picks.

I've got the time and inclination. What have others experienced doing this kind of work?
