It was done at the stealer. Don't really know about the PCT. Your car has a turbo gauge, watch it at idle. It should swing to the far left if you rev it up to 3K and suddenly drop the rpm to idle.

The oil leaking and the smoke I'm not 100% sure if these are the same problem.

I get the smoke even when I drive lightly...Sometimes I can drive reallt hard and no smoke..as soon as I start driving slower...the smell comes from the heat or AC which ever is on...and smoke starts coming from under the hood.

I did not see any oil coming from the cap or rotor...The last time I changed my sparkplugs there was a lot of oil under the plastic Volvo 20 valve cap...I thought it might be due to me leaking oil when not using a funnel to fill the oil after an oil change(which has happened)
