v70 odd fluid smell

Thanks, Klaus! This is my first turbo, so I wouldn't have thought about the return seal, etc.

One more thing: the oil-like odor distinctly comes from the passenger side of the engine. When the passenger door is open, it wafts into that side of the car between via the seam between door and the engine. I did notice that they overfilled the oil by about .5 quarts (sloppy work), so I'll drain off the excess (maybe that's creating too much pressure?)

Will also get a new oil filler cap gasket.


Cheers.
