Preparing to find the source of my oil leak on my 98 S90. Quite a nasty leak. No performance issues. All seems well but I have an external oil leak I am tryin to find.
Looks to be front left side, under and a little forward of the intake manifold somewhere perfectly hidden from view.
Are there any usual culprits / common failure areas to look for.

It seems to only leak during operation and for a few minutes after parking. Idling from cold it does not seem to leak. Parked and cold it does not leak. I have to come off a fast drive for it to drip. Otherwise it leaks out and burns off on the muffler during operation. I smell the burn and add oil about every 300 miles.
Ideas anyone?
