Great oil all over garage floor this morning. Any thoughts?
 
Went out to get in my beautiful 2000 S80 T6 with 117,000 miles on it this morning and noticed that about a foot by foot size oil on garage floor. Symptoms to date have included a short grinding noise after pulling out of driveway driving straight then it goes away, also hesitation for the first 3 minutes of driving and it goes away until the car sits and cools and it will do both of these things again. Also noticed turbo, don't know which one or both, has been louder than usual. The hesitation starts out as if the car has no power when accelerating and I have to really step on it to get it to go. This happens multiple times in the first 3 mintues of driving then it drives great. Any ideas?

I doubt any of those problems are related. If you don't know how to chase down a leak, you should take it somewhere to get it done. It may leak out a lot faster with the engine running.

Yes, the mechanic found the leak was from a loose bolt on turbo. Will find out more details from my mechanic later. They are going to tighten the bolt and let me drive it for a couple of days to see if it resolves the issue. My thoughts are it won't, but I'll drive it on highway to see if that is it. Otherwise I may need to take it to a Volvo specialist or perhaps the dealer.
