Oil Leak 1988 Volvo 765 B230 FT

Post by lummert »

I am looking for some pictures of the front of a B230FT engine. Preferably exploded views. I have an oil leak around the cam seal area. It is not coming from the cam seal around the cam. The cam sprocket and timing belt are dry. I want to look at some pictures of the timing cover parts and the front seals before ordering parts.

These are all I can find. They are from VADIS. The first is the cylinder head with part #33 being the cam seal. There are no other seals at the front end. The second is just the timing belt set-up.

Thanks for the pictures. I have found a similar picture of the Timing Components at http://www.thevolvosite.com

After looking over these pictures. The picture of the timing components shows a crankshaft seal and an intermediate shaft seal. There is also a gasket between the front oil seal housing and the engine block. The camshaft seal and the two seals in the front oil seal housing are the seals that I am going to order. They are really inexpensive, so it would be good to have them on hand if needed.
