S40 2004 Oil Leak / Seals

RobertJ418 · Post by **RobertJ418** » 02 May 2009, 13:35

Own 2004 S40, had an oil leak, brought to dealership, said a clogged oil trap caused the cam seal and crank seal to blow and it all needed replacement.
Have done minor car repair/older vehicles, wanted to know what difficulty rating for this is, on a 1 to 10.
Checked 'cam seal repair' photos/instructions and my engine sits in sideways compared to the pics shown. Any way to find pics/instruction of a sideways placed engine? TIA

Here are some directions. Is it leaking a lot? If not, you might want to just leave it alone and add some top-up oil periodically.
