It can be when it hasn't been raining. We have 2 pick and pulls and the smaller one tends to get more Volvo for some reason, but the staff a really friendly and helpful. Sorry to hear the P0455 has returned. I really thought you had that one cracked too.

I am chasing down a bunch of oil leaks on the rebuild 850 I am working on for my niece. Read my rant on repair shops today!

In your case the leak may be one of 2 things. Not sure if you have an engine oil cooler. If so they are under the crank pulley and the rings harden and the leak. Another issue that can happen in that area is the oil filter may not be tight or seated properly, and lastly I had a leak start in that area from a failing oil pan to block seal.

My engine oil cooler is in part of the radiator. Not exactly sure where it's leaking as I haven't crawled under there yet. With the ECC issue resolved, I can reinstall the glove box, lower knee bolsters & panels, and cruise control actuator-to-gas-pedal connection. However, with some of the fog light parts I pulled, I was also wanting to get the white 213 "relay" (really just a jumper) installed under the dash. I've looked in three more cars since; no joy. So I figured I'd just make a jumper. According to the schematic, the jumper goes between pins 3 & 4. I also goofed by pulling a rear fog switch instead of a front! Ooops...I need to get one of those or else move the wires around in the female connector so they'll properly match. I need to start another thread on this.

Send any spare rain and cool Canadian air down my way! We could use it!
