All right, this last week I picked up a pristine example of a 1990 740 Turbo Wagen (745T)92,000 original miles. Not knowing much about Volvo (mostly a VW water cooled guy, early rabbits scirocco's and the such), I would like to know it the 230FT engine is an interference engine.

Also there is a coolant leak on the passenger side in the area of the oil filter, not always it comes and goes. After looking up under the car, my best geuss is it is coming from the tranfer pipe out of the back of the waterpump. I would assome the coolant is following the pipe to the lowest point and dripping there, because ther is no collant on the expansion plugs or the block. I if I am right it may possibly be the connection and seal at that pipe is faulty.


Thanks in advance for the help and advice.
