98 V70XC AC Hose Weeping Oil

to check the weep hole, you need to remove the plastic shroud, one bolt on each side. Typically the oil leak is from the turbo area, I have a very small leak but I don't notice it in the dipstick. The volvo dealer said all Volvo turbo's leak a bit of oil, don't worry about it. Your A/C lines look okay, if your a/c works they are not leaking

It's got 188,000 miles. Yeah the AC works fine. I don't know about the PCV, I haven't checked it since I bought it, I guess I should take a look at that this weekend and see if it needs a going over.

Boy, is it well overdue! Need to be serviced now or else the expense will become highly cumulative.

Well I just bought it like 6 months ago, I definitely didn't let it go 188,000 miles without checking it

Clean up the lines to the oil cooler at the radiator. See if oil returns - it is not at all uncommon for them to leak at the crimps.

And yes, investigate that PCV system! Though it wouldn't spray oil there.
