Thank you KittysGreyVolvo..... 25,000 miles ago I had the Indie replace all hoses, oil trap and intake manifold gasket in the hopes it would help the light oil blow by and reduce oil consumption. Please note I call it blowby but it could be too rich of a fuel burn, but this wouldn't effect oil consumption. Would it? I had also noticed when the engine cover was removed there was oil laying around the spark plug wells. Tonight I did lift the dip stick while the engine was running. No oil came up. Slight steam or smoke was emitted. I also opened the Oil cap and a small amount ie a few drops landed on the engine cover. I then put a small plastic bag over oil crankcase opening and it did not have a vacuum. I spoke to an Indie whom I had asked Volvo questions previously and he is going to do a compression test some time next week as Klaus suggested. Kitty stay in touch since your in St Lewis. I have joined the local Volvo club but have not been to any meetings.
