Check the cam and see if it has a grove worn in it if so the seal wont work unless you remove the spring from the seal and find the join untist it to seperate it the cut a couple of mm off the replace it to the seal

you have to replace the seal on front of crankshaft before it gets worse

Hi,

That engine will leak oil from

- cam cover gaskets (rear one drips on the exhaust)
- camshaft end seals
- distributor shaft o-ring (appears on top of transaxle housing)
- oil filter bracket to block o-ring seal (drips on front bank exhaust)
- crankshaft nose oil seal (have done with timing belt change)
- rear main seal (expensive, leave it be)

Go to Volvo or call them if they are not close you and give the VIN # (vehicle Identification number) located at the bottom drivers side windshield. they can provide you a key from that. Raz,...

there is a seal on t hr breather box that could be leaking if there is oil across the oil pan if it is only on underside of car then the turbo return is leaking that is most common probably 10 dollars for gasket and seal and easy to change

Take valve cover gasket bolt out replace... An when you do the lower crank seal you have to take off oil pan.. Big job but it can be done..
