2001 v70 Engine oil leak front & squeal

Post by alanjackson »

Hello, I have a 2001 V70 non-turbo with a major oil leak dripping from the rear RT/H sump stud near the oil cooler. I have checked the PCV and that's fine.

I have had the sump off and replace the seals and chemical gasket, also oil cooler O rings.

There is no trace of any oil down the back of the engine, just dry dust.

I am assuming that the oil is coming from a main or can-shaft seal although all the belts show no traces of oil - all nice and dry.

A squeal appeared at about the same time as the leak, it squeals for 1 or 2 seconds when starting the engine only.

Any suggestions anyone?
