Oil leak ... 850 1995

I usually am on the 240 side of the Brickboard.

I have an opportunity to purchase a 95 850 with only 121,000 miles.

I've seen the car once and for the price, $500, I think it is a good buy. It has a leak that the owner seems to thinks is at the oil dipstick, yet the hoses adjacent to the dipstick are dry. I looked underneath the car yesterday (during the rain) and did not see any obvious leaks.

Coincidently I am changing the oil trap on my 240 this week.

So the question is, not having a manual and not having worked on the transverse engines yet, does this engine have a similar set up for crankcase ventilation; an oil trap?

Good source for manual for these vehicles?

I've had others work on my S60, now I might want to jump in.

Any advice is appreciated.
