Serious Oil Leak in back of engine 200 1989

Hello All,

Well, this occurrence was completely unexpected and surprising. IJust had the throttle cable replace as it snapped before christmas. I went out of town and had a friend pick car up from my mechanic for me. I just got back into town two days ago. My friend had told me about a week and a half ago that the volvski was leaking oil. They were adding 1/2 a quart every couple of days. And trying not to drive the thing as best they could.

SO, I get it back and granted, I have not looked underneath and examined the engine or underbody at all yet, but with just a flashlight I can see that the rear of the engine block is moist with oil, one both the passenger and driver's side. Oil light was on also, put a full quart in it and it went off.

I plan on examining the underbody tomorrow in depth. After I do this I will come right back with more info. I am praying it is a oil breather box problem, as that is one thing I have not done on my brick yet and have been meaning to.

Thanks for any info and I will have some more concrete info tomorrow.
