flame trap? oil leak around spark plug cover
V70 GLT 2.4 Turbo FWD 1998
I have an oil leak that appears to be coming from under the cover that is over the spark plugs (cover that says volvo 20valve). When I removed this cover there was definetly alot of oil all around in there. There is also oil coming from the dipstick tube. I've read something in regards to this being the pcv or the flame trap. Both of which I cannot locate. The Chiltons says the flame trap is over by the throttle, I still don't see it though. Any help that anybody can offer would be greatly appreicated. Thanks

RE: flame trap? oil leak around spark plug cover
The turbo evgine doesn't have a flame trap.
The vent box may be plugged.You might also have a vent line from the box clogged.
The oil on top is comming out of the oil filler cap.And also add from spillage from oil changes.
