    Default Oil loss

    OK - so on Monday evening I suddenly got a message to stop engine immediately due to low oil pressure. As I was (expediently!) about 300 yards away from a garage, I decided to chance it and drive there. The oil dipstick was completely clean, and even 2 quarts did not make any difference - and then I noticed that the oil is streaming out from underneath the car.

    It seems that the turbo oil pipe is the problem, but I only managed to have it towed to a Volvo dealer today, and they will diagnose it tomorrow.

    Lets see what they come up with ...

    Hope they told you why! (Likely PCV system needs replaced)

    That's a bit much to ask for this part of the world ...

    But I took the precaution to order the IPD PCV kit ...
