02 s80 2.9l 289 960 miles there is an oil leak. Anyone have the same problem? It seems to drive well with no problems other than a leakage on the driveway near the right front tire.

Shelly: Need more information to help out. First what kind of oil? Tranny, Steering or motor? Rub some off the ground with a white napkin, towel or cloth and check the color and smell. Second you need to pop the hood, clean up the oil starting at the top and moving to the bottom and then watch. Then check your fluid levels and see which if any are getting lower. Gravity results on oil hitting the ground - so start high and move down.
Possible sources, assuming yours is not a turbo, cam seals, oil pump seal, oil pan, oil cooler, rear main seal and PCV system for engine oil. Steering could be from the rack - so check the tie rod boot ends to see if they are full of fluid. Check the tranny hoses and oil pan and also the CV joints where they meet up to the transmission.
Pictures would help. Service history as to what has been changed would also provide some clues.
