1994 940 with B230F engine and 193000km. Car has been dealer serviced since new and I decided to do some work myself.

After changing oil at 192k, noticed slight oil leak from oil cap. Replaced oil cap seal and it seemed to reduce the leak to almost nothing. Today I replaced the flame trap (the little strainer and the plastic piece it sits in that connects to the big and small hose).

Now it leaks worse. I'm picky and want it to stop. Anyone with some experience they could share to help with the problem?

The old flame trap wasn't even clogged; just discoloured by the oil and very little residue in the nipple holder. Thanks!!!
