I have a big leak on my daughter's 940 Turbo. Lost 2 qt in 90 miles!
Finally spotted the drip yesterday.
From under the car I can see oil dripping off the filter and some nipple (bleeder?) on the coolant line to the oil cooler.
I'm not familiar with this stuff, only had the car 4 months.
Strangely, 4 months ago 2 qts disappeared. Replaced and monitored the oil level. No change over 2500 miles.
I changed the oil about 200 miles ago, then suddenly lost 2 qts, replaced last week, now another 2 qts gone.
SO, I gather it is either the O rings to the adapter (block to adapter or adapter to cooler) or the oil return line where it goes in the block.
Could I have loosened something changing the filter?
What parts do I need to replace oil line or adapter gaskets/O rings?
What is the best way to do the repair, looks crowded down there.?
