I just recently noticed a oil leak with my 1995 850 Turbo. I just got done draining the oil and it looks to me that the seal around the oil pan is leaking. There is oil driping from all of the bolts that are holding the oil pan on. I took pictures of the oil pan and i hope they work on my post. I was wondering if anydoby would be able to tell me what the problem could possibly be and what the cost of repairing it could be.

Before you do that clean it really good and replace the turbo return line o-ring and gasket.
The parts are like $10.00 and will take you between 30 to 60 minutes to replace.

The turbo return line is the big round pipe that goes from the turbo into the engine block.

 

Do i just go to my local Volvo dealer and ask for those parts?

 

Tech i just bought the parts you told me to buy and i found the oil return line. i have unbolted all of the bolts and braces for the oil return line and i still cant seem to get the oil return line out of its place. The line is free but i cant get it out of the engine block. i keep on getting hung up other lines coming out of the turbo. Do i need to disconnect other lines so that i can take this one out? Did i miss a step in trying to take out the line? or am i just retarded? haha please reply back because i am getting very frustrated.

 

You have to play with it and turn it to get it out.

You did remove the clamp between the oil line and the other line didn't you?

 

Everything if fine now. i had to loosen one of the other lines coming out of the turbo to get it out. Yes i had the clamp and everything else removed it was just such a tight fit i had to move something else out of the way. Hopefully this seal and gasket is the problem and i will not have an oil leak anymore.

Thanks for the help!

 

90% of the time it is that seal.They are know to go bad.Then everytime you get on the gas hard and boost the car oil leaks out when the seal is bad.

Did it have an Orange seal in it or a green one?

 

It had a orange seal in it and i put a green one in. My local Volvo dealer only charged me $4.50 for the seal and gasket.

 

Ok the orange one was the old style.

The green ones will last longer.
