Continuing 850 oil leak problems! 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Durga the Hutt on  Mon Jan 27 06:02 CST 2003 [RELATED]

There's several possibilities.

Do you see white smoke from under the hood? Can you physically SEE the oil leak? You could be leaking from a front or rear seal, or from the pan gasket, which would be pretty hard to see without having the car up. If it was a valvecover leak you should be able to see the oil leak pretty clearly.

Here's what you can do, go get your motor steam-cleaned. Then look for the leak. It'll be pretty visible then (should be anyhow).
