We have a 2001 XC70 Turbo. This is the worst of all oil leakers, I've
looked under it and can't find the source of the leak. My garage floor is
starting to look like the LeBrea Tar pits. I'm sure it will qualify for a
national clean up site.

Turbo train seal or breather box.

Rear main seal?

JRE

Thanks for the advice on my oil leaking XC70 2000 appreciate it. I removed
the covers on top and found a bunch of oil in the sparkplug valley. I
cleaned the emissions stuff and it now seems to be creating some vacuum in
the engine block. Will have to wait and see if the seepage stops.
Thanks again.

Are you running synthetic oil? I would in a turbo for sure as it is
less likely to clog the PCV system.
