Continuing 850 oil leak problems! 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be rich g. on  Mon Jan 27 05:49 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi,
Update on my posting of 10 days ago regarding the oil leak on my wife`s 855 turbo.
The car was in at the dealer late last week & they R`n R`d the crankcase ventilation system @ a cost of $400. My wife drove home, a distance of 50 miles & I checked the oil level when she arrived & found the oil was down a quart. Next am I found a pool of oil under the front of the vehicle which was symtomatic of the problem in the first place.
I`m unwilling to continue having these guys guess at the problem on my "dime" but I`m not a mechanic by any stretch. Any ideas what the real source of the leak could be(turbo o-ring has been replaced twice in the past 4 months).Gasket on oil filler replaced last week, dipstick fits tightly in tube, etc. We`re having the car towed to dealer today.Hopefully, we will get the problem resolved to our satisfaction & without breaking the bank.
Any/all input appreciated!
Thanks,
Rich
