Oil Smell In Cabin ('99 S80)

Hi All,

I've recently noticed a faint oil smell in my cabin and I think it's the crankcase breather (correct term?). Has any other S80 owners had this problem? If so, how did you get it fixed? My mechanic said I'd have to get under the intake manifold to replace an O-ring to stop the leak of oil vapor; is this true?

I don't think it's harmful, but it's awfully annoying.

Thanks!
