Oil Leak 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be jviningjr on  Sun Jan 2 02:51 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Thank you for the quick feedback Akarocket,

There is much more oil than I would expect....after 1/2 idle oil has accumulated along the entire bottom of the intercooler [at least I think it is an intercooler...it is a long plastic channel along the bottom of the radiator].In any case it is a "new" condition.

I read an previous posting about high pressure build up in oil system due to plugged vacuum lines. I had main seal replaced last year [by dealer about 20K miles ago] at about 95K miles. I was just under car 15 minutes ago and it looks as if main seal/bearing area is leaking again. You can imagine what I'm ready to do with this car, certainly not looking forward to replacing rear main seals every 20K miles....any thoughts?
