View Full Version : oil pan leaks 1999 x/c 70 after replacing oil seals

An independent Volvo mechanic (a great guy) replaced the oil seals on my 1999 x/c 70.
The oil pan leaks directly under the oil seals.
He has used the correct adhesive (three new tubes) and replaced the oil pan four times.
The oil pan only leaks at that one spot.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Are you talking about the sump o-rings?

Don't know, the mechanic said o-rings for the oil passage.
Thanks.

Ok so yes, it's the two oil sump o-rings.

Check to see what kind of sealant he is using...
