I'm taking my T-5R in for work tomorrow: a weird scraping sound coming from the front end, and an oil leak. I was wondering if you guys could give me a list of possible sources of my oil leak. It deposits about two or three drops every time the engine is turned off. The strange thing is that my dipstick end is still fully covered and I haven't added any oil since my last oil change (two months ago). I don't leak any oil near the filler cap and the dipstick area is pretty much clean. It drips near the oil return line (the one that leaks often apparently) but comes from above it somewhere. In fact, that whole area is covered in oil but it only drips a few drops each time. I want to get this oil drip fixed because I know no oil leak is good but I want to get an idea of how much this is going to cost me. I have a huge list of things I need to do to this volvo and I'm on a limited budget so I'm sending it in just for the drip and the scraping, the only two things I can't fix myself. If you guys could also tell me what kind of labor hours are involved with each oil drip type, that'd be great. Thanks to all.
Alex
