I looked at my wife's engine (B230FT - USA 1994 940 Turbo) today and noticed quite a bit of oil around the oil fill cap, and the trail of it running down the valve cover and off the back end of the engine. Since I had the oil changed a few days ago I figured it could be from a messy oil refill. I wiped up the oil that I could reach, then sprayed engine degreaser and sprayed it off.
After driving for ~30 miles I popped the hood and looked at the valve cover. Once again oil was leaking around the oil filler cap and runnnig down the valve cover and off the back of the engine.
Thinking there may be too much oil in the engine I checked the oil level and there is the correct amount - the oil level is right in the middle of the XXXXXXX part of the oil dipstick.
So I went online and saw the SwedishBricks information on oil leaks and how a clogged flame trap can cause it.
What I need to know is this:
1) Does it sound like a clogged crankcase breather system? 1) Does the B230FT (USA 1994 940) have a flame trap? I have seen that they have it and also that they do not. 2) How do I access it? Do I need to remove the intake manifold? Or any other parts? Step-by-step instructions with visual aids (diagrams or photos) would be helpful.NCMan
