Default S70 Help Please

Hi,
I have a 98 S70 (T5) that is starting to give me problems which I am assuming are common with this car. My appointment is set for next week Thursday before I take it into the shop and wanted some ideas on what the problems that I having could be. The first problem is both my check engine light and abs light come and stay on at all times. It has been like this for about two weeks and I've also noticed that from time to time my speedometer will cut out for a sec or two and quickly start back working. I am thinking this could be the ABS Mod? I also had a new engine put in about two months ago and it was giving me a check engine light although I don't remember the code but the guy at Auto Zone said that it was running to lean? I have also noticed one or two drops of oil in my driveway when leaving out. It does not always drip oil but I would say in the past week I have noticed this twice. I think this could be the return line from the turbo? I also have the lock problem but I am not going to worry about that just yet. Any help is appreciated..


Thanks
Shelly

1. I suspect bad ABS module as well.

2.Lean condition could be from a bad Vaccum line or leaking Induction hose.

3.Maybe turbo return line leaking but also have them check Cam seals.

Your welcome let me know how it goes.

FYI: If the ABS module is bad you can have it rebuild for about $100.00 instead of buying one from the Dealer for like Almost $400.00.
