Rear Main Oil seal V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Mikebox on  Fri Aug 26 03:14 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Ok, I spent a little time with the car the other night. The leak was definately dribbling from the drain/weep hole where the t/c housing and engine are connected. The rest of the engine is absolutely dry and clean. Anyhow, I did find a split in the rubber elbow on the vacuum hose that runs from the RH side of the intake underneath the plenum and attachs to the "flame trap housing". I pulled this hose and fashioned a new elbow from fuel injection hose (wont collapse and resists rot). After replacing, I cleaned up the lower engine and drove the car for a while; dry so far....we'll see how long that lasts. Now I get to tackle the ABS controller..

Thanks for all the help
