Hello,

I have a 1993 940 Turbo. There is an oil leak that appears to be coming from around the dipstick tube (where the tube goes into the engine block on the driver's side, next to the oil separator box). I read in the FAQ that this can happen and perhaps a new seal is needed. I called Tasca Volvo and they did not find a part number for the seal (couldn't tell if there was a seal). They suggested ordering a new dipstick tube and if it needs a seal, it would come with the tube. Does anyone know what kind of seal is in there, if at all, and/or what the part number would be? How involved is this repair? Do I just need to pull the dipstick tube out? Is it just a friction fit? I am hesitant to take this apart without the proper parts on hand since I don't want to make the leak worse.

(I have replaced the oil separator, thinking that this was the source of the leak, but it didn't fix it.)

Thanks!
Steve
