I have a 1988 240DL volvo.
Suddenly I am having a problem with oil leaking out the oil filler opening. I bought a new cap thniking it was an old gasket problem.
it is still leaking.
So I guess there must be a value of some sort that is plugged and causing pressure in the crackcase.
Anyone have an idea and have seen this problem before?
TIA

My guess is that either the flame trap is plugged, increasing crank case pressure, or that some of the oil passages are plugged. The former is easy (if a bit grubby) to fix, the latter could require significant disassembly.
Here is another link:
thanks I will look into it today
