Re: Oil Filler Cap Gasket Leaking :-( 700 1985

Start with the simplest solution and then work up to more complicated ones. I had the same problem, passed the "jiggle test" and discovered, lo and behold, it was a hardened old rubber gasket, so I went to my local Volvo dealer (yes, dealer) and they just gave me a new one for free (which leads me to think it probably can't really cost $15 for a new one - that is what I paid for a valve cover gasket). I was very pleased. (Thanks to Keeler Volvo, Colonie, NY) Haven't had much of a problem since. Good luck.
