My niece's XC70 was diagnosed by a Honda mechanic as having a turbo oil leak, thus needing a new turbo. Is this a common issue, or could it possibly be the driver side exhaust camshaft seal (that has had a small leak for a while)? The oil leak is external and there is no blue smoke out the tailpipe. Could it be a problem like the old Tbird turbocoupes where the oil return line would plug up? The leak is significant enough that she has to add oil to the engine.

Also could someone recommend an independent Volvo service shop in the Midlothian/Richmond VA area?

For clarification, I have not seen the car for over a year, so I haven't personally looked at the leak.

Thanks!
