My independent mechanic showed me that oil is leaking from my turbo. He also showed me oil being sprayed at the front of the engine, and it sure looks like it is coming from around the intercooler tubes. Because of the cost involved, my mechanic suggested I take it to the Volvo dealer. I bought this S70 2 years ago from this dealer and it still has one month remaining on the Volvo Certified warranty.

The dealer service rep called and said that the warranty company wants to look at the leak before they authorize repairs. That's fine. The service rep also said that all turbos leak, this is because they have a "weep hole" and so oil is always there. I responded by saying my driveway has much more oil on it than could be attributed to a "weep hole." I also reminded him of my note about oild around the intercooler tubes.

I've never heard of a "weep hole" for oil, what do you folks make of this? Thanks.
