Oil on valve cover 900

posted by  someone claiming to be dan on  Thu Apr 21 04:13 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Hi all,

I have a 92 944 turbo which has been causing me a wealth of problems - all to do with the valve cover. Bought the car in December, changed the oil in January. After the oil change I noticed the valve cover was covered in oil seeping from under the oil filler cap. here's what's been done:

- new cap and gasket
- breather box checked/cleaned (by volvo mechanic)
- valve cover replaced (by volvo mechanic)

I don't know what else to do. I have noticed that once the dip stick reads about 2/3rd's down, the oil filler cap no longer leaks, however I'm still concerned about the gaskets. It's only when I get an oil change or top up the oil that I get oil on the valve cover. Any ideas?
