My 96 960 with 92000 miles has an oil leak that requires me to add 1 quart every 500 miles. I have ruled out all seals on the front of the engine and all seals at the rear(including rear main). I have also ruled out the filler cap seal, oil cooler o-rings, and the flame trap because all are new. The oil seems to be leaking out on the left side from the center of the engine to the back with most coming out in the vicinity of the oil sender(but oil sender replaced with no improvement). It is not coming out where the dipstick goes in to the crankcase either. The oil coats the bottom of the engine in the vicinity of the sump and some drips off when it is parked. Does anyone have an idea where the oil is coming from?
