Re: 1996 Volvo 850 T5 - Severe Oil Leaks

Before I swapped my engine my oil leak was from excessive pressure in the block. It was leaking oil all along the back of the engine. It had broken the seal on the oil pan and mid block. Nothing I could do other than take the engine out and repair. Luckily I blew the engine up and just replaced it.
