Massive Oil Leak, top of engine under plastic cover

[volvospeeds70]

I go through Siler City on the way to Cary via hwy 64. That's even closer for me. We never take pay for helping out a MVS person. What's your work area, driveway or garage?
It's Easter weekend, but I could probably work out some time. With all our knowledge it shouldn't take more than a month or two. .
Well not really.. Just see if you want to do it and get all the parts. Read over Justin's thread on it and make sure it's something you think you can do, with some or all of our help.

i forgot about easter weekend. I own a farm so have alot of tools. If the kit comes in before next weekend its great. I'm thinking about doing a PCV cleaning and bought a rebuild kit. If you'd like, I can buy you lunch, thats the least I can do.

btw...........i'm like 2 miles off of hwy 64.

Check his thread and see what other parts you will need. Intake gasket should be replaced. If none of the old hoses break, it's just pull apart,clean and replace. It would be good to check out the PTC also.
I think that is what that hard to get to part is called. It can be removed and cleaned, using a little silicone to put back together. Rear cam seals aren't to hard, front ones can be a problem. Let me know what day you are thinking and we'll see what can work out.

He's getting a new kit, it will include the intake gasket.

Make sure you request ALL OEM hoses, Volvo only. If you get the cheap URO crap, you will need to redo the job again sooner than later. See this video:


Just replaced the plugs on our S70 GLT. Enough oil on top of the motor to swim fish.

Get the ones from the Gulf of Mexico, they are use to the oil. .

I had to replace the gaskets under those plates on the back of the motor on our S70 GLT. They are paperish and cost about $7 at the steeper.

are you talking about the four 10 mm bolt plate? I tightened the lower two down.

Hello, I have just got my 1998 v70 back from the garage for headgasket, timing belt etc. I've also noticed quite some oil on the top of the engine. Cleaned up the top with shop towels and after a short (5km) test drive I've got quite a pool of oil that's come up through that hole! There's definitely oil in the port between cylinders 2 and 3 hasn't squirted out of the PCV. Given the comments in this thread does this imply that the two halves of the head were improperly sealed?
