"Oil level low" . . . PANIC
V70-2008-2.4d (5244T5 engine)
Oil change a week ago. Yesterday I drove 200 km. and when almost at the destination the dreaded message appeared in the instrument panel . . . "Oil level low". Full panic and stopped the car instantly. Checked the dipstick and there was a hint of oil down at the tip. Luckily I had four litres of oil in the back of the car so I filled one and a half litres to get it up to max. In other words, one and a half litres was lost in about a week. I suspected the plug in the sump and checked it today, expecting a lot of oil around the plug and on the plastic bottom cover,-but no . . . dry as a desert. Then I saw it. Plenty of fresh oil around the crank pulley. What options do I have? -Crank seal, oil pump seal or both? Next move: -Brake clean and pressure washer to get it clean and dry and then inspect daily to see exactly where it leaks oil. |
