I took the car to firestone since its right down the street and they said oil leak is from the turbo
I looked under w tgem and oil return looks dry and so do the other 2 copper looking lines
I checked if it might be cam leak by distributor but its not coming from there
Regular driving its ok but on full load on highway it leaks pretty bad to the point where whole underside, along with the tailgate and back window is full of oil spray.
Any ideas what to look for or what do do?
Is turbo swap ( from ebay used) a hard thing to do on an awd?
Im looking for pcv kit to be on safe side...

Start with 2 items:
1. PCV Overhaul (info in forum)
2. Rear Cam Seals x2 (I use SKF seal, about $7/each; info in forum)
Then clean the engine with some engine degreaser and small amount of water (don't drown the sprak plug areas!).
Then monitor leak, you may have a RMS leak too, which is a pain to fix. But let's hope you don't have a RMS leak.

I just replaced the supply and drain lines on my 98 v70xc's turbo do to a leak, rotted lines. The car only has 143K on it. I found that the supply had a pinhole in it. The drain is a pain to do due to the transfer case. The parts are reasonably priced if you use Volvo country parts.
