2007 S40 2.4i, 183,000 miles, uses a lot of oil for a modern car, a quart every 1500 miles. After driving it on the highway and coming to a stop there is a noticeable oil smell. It does nor appear to be leaking anywhere. The back side (firewall) of the head is dry and so is the splash panel underneath.

I'm going to try cleaning the oil separator and see if that helps.

Any tips on how to do it and what I'll need for o-rings or seals ?

Thanks
Greg
