1999 V70 XC - Oil Light Flickering/Staying On, Noisy Top-End

[demian5]

Well all I can say is it was a peice of cake. The Pink sealant from IPD was strange, but it worked great with the roller. If there was a way to get that line out of the way under the front mount so you don't have to pursuade the pan between that and the pick-up tube, I would do these all day for $400 including parts and oil.

I didn't even need to jack the engine up or move the cooler lines much.

Thanks everyone for your help.

And BTW - What was wrong...

There was some kind of label stuck in the pick-up tube opening and the smaller of the 2 o-rings on the front of the block was deformed (pinched) and there was a small area where it looks like it could suck oil.

So I replced both of those o-rings on the front of the block, the 2 o-rings for the oil cooler inside of the pan, the pick-up tube o-ring and the o-ring for the dipstick. Runs fine now, no light, no noise from the top end. However I have some residual oil coming from around the oil filter housing (plastic peice of crap).
