Hi everyone, I come from HONG KONG.I just purchase a 2008 V50 2.4i in a bargain price
But I found someplace oil leaking(near Right front suspension),I've no idea which part is it

I believe the motor mount on that side is hydraulic so if it goes bad it will leak oil. Also, the front struts have oil in them so that could make a mess if the one on the right side is leaking. The other thing that comes to mind is an axle seal as there is transmission fluid in the transmission to axle. Is the color of the fluid red or black? It is difficult to see from the picture.

Is that dirt and oil or grease? The goo appears in a strip, so I'm guessing it's slung out from some rotating thing. I would look for anything nearby that is doing a "rings of Saturn" number. You might also clear part of that track carefully and check back after a short drive to see whether it is still getting slung out.
