Oil leak from VVT or Cam Seal?

Everything on the Volvo S80. Sometimes called an "executive car", the S80 was Volvo's top-of-the-line passenger car. P2 platform.

You mean the cap on top of the engine? Where you fill her with oil.

Yeap! I didn't start replacing mines until this year. Not sure if the dealer did it during maintenance service. I now have no more spark plug cover and oil around my oil cap. With a flatblade screwdriver, pry out old, pop in new one...that simple.

Did you find the solution to your oil leaking problem? Was it simply the rubber seal on the oil cap or did you find it was crankcase pressure and re-did pcv system?

Thanks
