Just got my S70 yesterday.I really like the model alot.had an 850GLT for a while.

went to check the condition of the plugs and found oil on top of the head.
I have not had a chance to get a manual.
I cleaned the mess and started the engine did not see any leaking but that was at idle.
there is a hose that comes from the top of the head and routed around towards the front of the oil filler spout
I guess this iscrankcase ventor turbo oil line.
it almost looks like its leaking from the filler spout.do these gaskets go bad.

Driver you were right the wheels and tire size were right on.
I might keep the standard height on the vehicle.

thanks

Pretty common for the oil cap gasket to go bad, and a real cheap place to start for a fix. Could also be PCV system needs replaced if you have pressure build up.

 

thanks
Ill replace oil cap gasket today.i have the Stylin hosesdue this week.
When you say replaced you mean hoses and all areas the hoses connect to and any blockage?

you think they would come up with a better type gasket.

thanks Jimmy
