Oil Leak!

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul Demeo on  Wed Dec 26 05:55 CST 2001 [RELATED]

True, turbos don't have flame traps, but they can clog the "flame trap holder" Y-piece, and the associated hoses, and the oil seperator below the (lack of) flame trap.

Although it's clear as mud to those new to Volvos, "check your flame trap" should be taken to mean "check your WHOLE PCV system" because if it's clogged, it will make leaks worse.
