BUT he finally looked for and found the source of the oil leak he thought he'd fixed a month ago when he replaced the filler cap gasket. BAD NEWS for my 960 wagon. He says that the bolts on the cover are stripped and leaking oil, or at least the one pictured is--and he expects other bolts would strip if he tried them. Showed me the cover with coils in place, surrounded by oil, and then how the 3rd sparkplug "bay" (I don't know the correct jargon) is filled with oil.

Anyone interested in buying a used 960 for parts?
