I have a coolant leak a little bit driver side of center near the firewall. It has left a small puddle of coolant the last two times I left it to idle.

Anybody have an idea of the culprit?

Sorry for the weird perspective.

Thanks in advance.

Also thanks to everyone on the boards and especially to erikv11.

To report back: We went to work on the two bolts on top of the thermostat housing and promptly cracked the housing by tapping on the top of the socket wrench, ordered a new one and waited until Monday. On Monday we got to work and moved the power steering pump and replaced the housing, thermostat an...

Thanks for all the help, I'll tackle it this weekend. The dealership didn't have the ECT in stock but I should be able to get it from my indy Volvo mechanic tomorrow (and hopefully pick his brain a little too, I'll probably bribe him with a six pack...) I figured I'd drain the coolant, remove the ra...

So would you replace that short piece or would you run it all the way to the PTC? I did some digging on here and saw some people running it to the PTC which seems like a good solution, I was just a little unclear on the process. Looks like I should do a little more digging.

Reporting back after a long weekend. So I put in new NGK spark plugs and it fired right up. I am hoping that replacing the ECT and thermostat will solve the crank, no start in really cold weather for the future (this also happened two years ago after prolonged sub zero temps). I had no coolant loss ...

PCV_Vacuum_Hose.jpg So the PCV Vacuum hose is definitely cracked and looks like it has been for a while. I figured fixing that will clear the P0172 making the car run rich and the oil under the valve cover. Now I just need to find the coolant leak. Without putting the car on jack stands I took the ...

So I have a couple problems I'm trying to work through on my 1995 850 Turbo Wagon. After some sub zero weather here in Wisconsin I had a crank, no start situation. Checked all the easy things; fluids, I could hear the fuel pump come on, pulled codes (P0172: Fuel Too Rich which has been causing a CEL...
