(I also posted this in the S90 section.)

We brought home a new-to-us 97 960/S90 today. I have a few questions to get me started on this car. It has 98k on it. Any help and/or suggestions to help me get to know this more-modern Volvo would be really appreciated. Up until today, the newest Volvo we've had was the 93 245.

1. Best jacking points for floor jack?

2. Best jack stand locations?

3. It drifts lightly to the right when I let go of the wheel on the freeway. We swapped tires front to back which lessened the problem, but it still does it. Any suggestions?

4. After a 155-mile drive, it left a spot of engine oil in the driveway below the oil drain plug that spread out to the size of a fifty-cent piece. I'm hoping it's just the oil plug gasket. Rear main seal a common leak on these cars??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
