I recently purchased a beautiful 2003 V70 2.4t car. Had a lot of suspension work done and quite a few new parts but unfortunately the owner had no idea when the timing belt was last done....He owned it for 50k of the total 170k on the clock.
I took a gamble and bought the car anyways...drove it home and have started to to the things that will need to be done if I'm going to drive the car...Like timing belt and the works in there regardless what I find when I open the timing belt cover to do a visual inspection...I found the belt was a Continental so I was happy to see that...At least I know its been done before...just don't know when..Doesn't matter, I'm changing it.
Anyways, what I found when I took that cover piece off was some oil pooled up on the top of the head....you know when you remove the two t30 screws to get the timing belt cover off you expose a small portion of the head there. It looks like its coming from either the oil filler cap area or the pcv tube right there but I haven't taken the big cover off yet due to having to remove the intake tube and all but what should i be looking for preliminarily? I would guess there could be a chance the pcv system hasn't been serviced yet but I don't know...I will do the job but not sure how difficult it is to get to the oil trap? Looks buried under the intake...

The engine seems to run quite smooth so if its a clogged pcv system I would assume it would run rough but not realy sure on these white block engines...They are totally new to me (redblock guy).

Any tips you can give me? I need all the help I can get understanding this new to me engine..
