Oil in outlet air tube coming from turbo - 1998 S70 GLT

Post by GoBucks!! »

I noticed yesterday that I have oil in the tube that comes out of the turbo and goes into the engine. There is also oil dripping under the car, it appears to be coming from the turbo.

Any ideas on what the problem could be??

Thanks in advance.

There's an oil return line -- meant to carry oil -- that leaks commonly on 850s.

Do a search https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/search.php for 'oil return line' and check Search for all terms.

You'll see lots of stuff on the fix. It's easy.

Oh sorry, just read your posts' title. Air tube -- obviously what I posted is not your fix.
