    Umm, I do believe they ARE responsible for the damage since the radiator is supposed to cool the water that cools the engine, it didn't work! It seems most likely that the radiator wasn't properly cooling the engine and the engine got so hot the oil had no where to go but out. I've actually seen this before when a friend of mine had similar problems and the oil cap actually blew off the engine. (No, it wasn't the radiator cap, it was the oil cap. Although that cap went missing as well!) I think you can make a pretty strong case to suggest it was most likely their fault. Just take it up with Judge Judy!

    Try www.car-part.com.

    The only thing that is near the radiator that has anything to do with oil are the oil cooler lines. There really isn't anything they could have messed up to cause you to loose your oil. Sorry.

      Hmmm, IF an oil cooler hose wasn't properly attached and popped off a radiator, ones engine would run out of oil very quickly.

      ....Anyway, Erie Vovo is another place to get used Volvo engines.
      We've installed several from them and they have a guaranty on them too:
