I would almost guarantee the reason your cam seals are leaking is due to a clogged oil trap. Replace the cam seals, timing belt (due to oil saturation), the oil trap and check to see if your charge air hose is oil saturated and replace that as well if it is. You will need that tool above along with ...

It very well could be the VVT causing the leak and the belt to walk. other possible causes could be the tensioner. I would first check the oil trap for correct vacuum at the oil dipstick tube, then check the timing tensioner. If the oil trap checks out and the tensioner springs back appropriately ...

There are a few potential problems. That hose is usually replaced as part of the process because it is hardened usually but not clogged. The diaphragm in the oil trap is one usual failed part and the nipple that attaches beneath the intake is usually clogged. It’s probably hardened by now and most ...

Well on the 2.5T the vacuum should be between -0,1and -0,5 kPa At the cap and or the oil dipstick tube. This is an extremely low amount of vacuum. I have to use a special Volvo vacuum gauge to measure it because a standard vacuum gauge will barely move at this pressure. Sometimes when the oil trap ...

The cam seals do leak and need to be replaced often on the 2.5. The crank seals almost never leak on these. The reason for the leak is most likely a clogged oil trap (PCV). Make sure you check the charge air hose. It gets saturated with oil as well it’s a quick fix to replace and will leave you ...
