Hi I'm new to brickboard, but post on volvospeed quite often now for the past month. I recently purchased a volvo 1995 850 turbo w/ 79k on it. My problems and questions are:

I have an oil leak that is coming from the direction of the back of hood (toward dash) and in the center of the car. Perhaps a rear main seal. At the same time after keeping the engine on in park for about 5 minutes a little bit of smoke started to come from around that position to. That is my one problem and question I had, and hope for some good suggestions.

My second is, I have a shaking problem when the car is running the engine shakes a little bit and sputters a little bit. I just replaced spark plugs and that helped a little, I plan to replace dist. cap and rotor tomorrow to see what that will do and perhaps the ignition coil wire too. Just curious if anyone has had this problem before? It also shakes when the car is in drive too and the shaking doesn't seem to stop.

Thanks in advance.

Jay
