Called the local Indy shop today to check on the price for getting the front crankshaft seal on my kid's 244 replaced. This seems to be the source of the oil leak on this car. They told me that while they were doing that, I should get all three seals and the timing belt replaced. The car has about 150K (Odometer broken) and I know nothing of the service history.

They quoted me $220 for the work. They are, by all accounts, the best Volvo shop in Northern San Diego County.

I'm thinking of trying to tackle this job myself. Per the Haynes manual, it doesn't look too hard. Probably not as bad as the rear rollup windows on my 61 Impala bubbletop.

Two questions. What are the other two seals? Are there any nasty parts of this job I may not be aware of?
