Rear Main Oil seal V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Mikebox on  Mon Aug 22 09:00 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hi guys,
It appears that my v70 (FWD, N/A, Automatic) has decided to start puking oil at the rear main seal; at least it appears to be dripping from the area between the engine and the transaxle. Has anyone here changed the seal? What kind of time did it involve? Did you drop the transaxle down or pull the engine? I hope Volvo has upgraded the seal (anyone know?) I have about 98k on my engine and all service has been adhered to; seems a little early for the seal to die.

Also, I see some suggestions to clean the flame trap on 850 models but it appears that 98 v70s no longer have the trap; is this true?

Thanks,
MW
