Hello All

Need some advice please.

I've noticed a small oil leak on my 99 Phase 1 Volvo V40 2.0T SE, so i had underneath steam cleaned so i could get a good look at it. When i got it up on some ramps i can see it's definately coming from a pipe that feeds into the back of the sump(about halfway up the sump). The leak is coming from where this pipe connects into the sump and just wondered firstly what this pipe is and secondly what's the best plan of action to remedy this problem.

Many Thanks :)

Its probably the turbo oil return pipe. They have washers in them that can leak with age, theyre not hard to change and dont cost much.

Thanks for the reply mate, i'll look up the part you mentioned in Haynes then see if i can manage the repair.

Thanks again :)

Just to follow up on this, it was the the Turbo Oil Return Pipe Seal, just a little washer which cost £1 from the main dealer. Was too tricky a job for me so a local garage replaced it, cost me £50 in labour but i'll soon make that back on the oil i'll save.
Thanks for the replies :)

Good fix then. :)
