Re: I need a list of possible oil leak sources..... 850 1997 R

Check the oil return tube for the turbo. Common leak point. The seals are only a couple of bucks from the dealership and can be replaced with the car on ramps. I had the same problem and symptoms, so this is most likely the cure.

Remember, hot oil on a moving car with air blowing throughout the engine compartment (particularly the back of the engine bay) can cause the oil to go places that you wouldn't expect i.e. higher than the actual source of the leak.

This is the cheapest solution to start with then move from there if the problem persists. Good luck
