Having found the source of the previous leak, I now realize I have a much bigger leak from the turbo area.

I am inclined to suspect the oil drain line : http://volvospeed.com/Repair/turborepairline.php


but mine is an AWD and it is DAMN hard to see/feel anything up there around the bevel gear : http://volvospeed.com/Repair/awd_oil_return.php


Has anyone ever done this replacement on an AWD car?
Is it doable by a mere mortal DIYer with ramps (as opposed to a seasoned superman volvo mech with a proper hoist)?


Also it seems I'm having some PCV trouble and there's some oil around my rear main weep hole. Can I expect this to subside when I get the PCV straightened out or has it gone too far already and now that needs to be completely replaced as well? (crossing my fingers - this is a BIG DEAL)
