Re: 2005 S60R: Engine Oil dripping from intercooler elbow

The more I think about it I don't believe this leak is happening because of blow-by either. I replaced my engine with a very good engine and I just replaced the turbo so I don't think that is my problem. There must be some easy explanation to why I am leaking oil at that spot. My boost numbers are g...

If it's pointing to blow-by does that mean my PCV system is finally clogged somewhere? What do you recommend I do to take care of it? I am pretty sure it is not my turbo as I just swapped it out with a much newer unit and it is behaving exactly the same.

Does it allow oil to drip on th...

I've had my R since new and with 175K miles it has never happened to me. Something has changed the last month or so to cause this dripping. Al...

2005 S60R: Engine Oil dripping from intercooler elbow

I am new to this site as I normally visit Swedespeed's R Forum but thought I would try here since I am not getting it figured out over there. I have a 2005 S60R with an oil dripping issue. My intercooler is a Bell IC which I installed years ago. The oil is dripping from the bottom of the IC coupling...
