Thanks for the advice. I bought the required kit from the dealer for about $30 (4 o-rings and a tube of sealer). I plan on tackling it myself to save major $$$. One thing I wonder though, Haynes says I need to remove the oil pump?? The dealer said nothing of this and I have no gaskets for it. Is it necessary to remove as stated in the repair manual? Or is that only required when removing the intermediate section as well? Thanks again for helping me... I'm new to volvo's and still learning... but at least this car is easier to work on than any of my 3 back assward Saabs.
