Oil leak in 83 240GL + brake failure light 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be cfoster on  Sat May 8 20:10 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hello,
My 83 Volvo 240GL has an oil leak which appears to be coming from behind the pulley or crank which has the timing marks above it (sorry I am unsure what the correct terminology is). I am not sure what this means or if this is in fact where the leak is originating from, as there was a considerable amount of leaked oil inside the engine compartment and under the chassis, including from apparently being sprayed around by the belts. I have cleaned it all off as best I could - including underneath, then set down some clean cardboard and run the engine for a short while, and so far the only drip appears to be from the above mentioned area.

I don't know if it is related or not, but on my last trip I also had the "brake failure" warning light come on. I still have brakes, though they travel a bit more now.

Can anyone offer some suggestions as to what I might be in for here?

Thank you,
cfoster
