2001 S80 T6 and have had a P0455 CEL code for a long while and been lazy in fixing it. There is also a pretty good oil leak that seems to originate above the turbos. I cleaned the underside of the oil pan and up the back side of the engine and any hoses and lines then did some errands to check where ...
