Oil Leak 850 1994

I have a 1994 850 with 117,000 miles. Great car and great shape. However, I recently enountered an oil leak that cannot be found. I have has several Volovo mechanics think they fixed it. I even had a new rear seal put in. I add about a quart a month. Even more on long road trips. I look at the engine, but see no oil leak and cannot find where it is going. I do see small puddle under the car if it has been settig a while.


Would anyone out there please comment on what they may think it is? Please offer suggestion on how to get it fixed.

Thank you so kindly.

      The mechanics changed the PCV valve. It boggles the mind that I'm losing oil.
      I have only 117,000 miles on the car.

      Hopefully someone out there is having the same problem with their 850 and can add some light.

      Thanks

    Is it a turbo? If so check the turbo drain gasket. If not, maybe you are just burning oil. How is the performance? You could put some die in the oil and check it about a month later with a black light to see if you have any leakage.

    Good luck
