2002 v70 big oil leak, dripping while car is just parked and not running. I crawled under after driving up the rhino ramps to take a quick look before dark. The oil pan is fine, the oil filter is fine. The leak is passenger side, up high. I know that it is possible oil pump, or other engine gasket ....

Well, I had to get the '06 v70 towed 15 miles, the driver did an excellent job, hooking/dragging and pulling the car onto the flatbed towtruck. The gear selector was stuck in park. I pried the cover off and looked inside, checked all the fuses, disconnected the battery to restart, looked at the brak...

The lower control arms, ball joints, and thin v...

2006 Yes, I unplugged the sensor, drove a few miles, plugged it back in, however, odometer reading still the same mileage.
