Super helpful. Just picked up my first Volvo (2004 XC70) that’s leaking oil exactly from where you described. Thanks for making a quick and easy video to help people out.
Anytime! Things like that sometimes can be difficult to achieve without some good easy info!👍
Had a 1998 mustang gt, they leak similar but not through the oil cooler as much
All cars are similar to an extent!😎
It seems like every time I watch a video from you guys I always anticipate the next video but it feel like foreverrr
We’re so happy you tune in every video! It never ever goes unnoticed!🔥
That is indeed a big "ass-turbo" lol. Love you guys!
We love your support!! With us from the begging! 🙏
just put a catless downpipe on my 2003 S60 T5 gonna check this on mine now lol
It could save the life of your Volvo!😎 What size down pipe did you do?
Yeah I can see how it would be bad😬😬
Never saw one of these oil coolers leak.
The problem for the early P2 engine is the oil pan seal. You need to drop the oil pan and replace all the seal on the oil pan. The early seals slowly broke down and you lose oil pressure.
That’s some really good info! We have the early gen S60 and haven’t had any oil pan leaks yet other than the oil cooler seals leak! It could have been due to putting more power to it.🤔🤔
@@WhipGetters sorry for misinformation. The oil pan doesn't have seal. I'm talking about the seal for the oil paths and oil pickup tube. There are a lot of oil paths on the oil pan. When the seal for these paths goes bad, you lose oil pressure. Especially the oil pickup tube seal, it always goes bad on oil P2 engine.
We figured it was some sort, we knew these engines did not have oil pan gaskets or seals, but we didn't want to assume every I5 motor didn't!
@@WhipGetters No. No oil pan seal for all Volvo modular engine. They use special liquid gaskets for oil pan and cam cover. You can get it from fcp or dealer.
We knew our model Volvo used them. We just never want to assume all Volvo i5 engines had the same!😎
This oil cooler is not the main issue with volvo's. The issue are the 2 seals between engine and oil pan + 2 seals on the smal piping inside the pan.
When the cooler seals leak, you just mis some oil, thats it. easy fix.. I do not even replace these seals, they never leak
Your videos have an incredible production value and are so well done! How do you guys not have more subs??
We couldn’t stop laughing because of your name!🤣 Threw us off guard thinking “waitttt…. If sergeant retard is telling us that, is it sarcasm?”🤣 Nahhhh! We really appreciate you saying that!! We work hard on every video and try to get better and better!
You should also add some blue Loctite to the bolts and torque them to 12.5 ft-lbs.
Not a bad idea too!🙏
My son was looking is looking for a need ride and I saw a Volvo with lower miles for the age 140000 but I think we gonna pass now cause I can’t stand no leaking ass car. Glad y’all put this video up
Anytime man! The P2 Volvos are amazing cars, but the oil leaks overtime are pesky and could get really old!
Preciate the info. Merry Christmas
Of course! We apologize for the late response! For some odd reason your comment was hidden in “held for viewing” and not shown!Merry late Christmas to you as well! 🎄
@@WhipGetters My s60 has 240k and I've never had an oil leak, we've had it since maybe 60-90k. I guess I'm the lucky one
us cars are heading to the junkyard at 140k miles, i have 240k on my volvo v70.
Volvos typically go well over 300K .
Any recommendations for things like liqui-moly and other oil additives that claim to help extend the life of engine seals? Cheers and thanks for the great content
Most of the Volvos will like liqui-moly but we can’t say that there’s a difference. We haven’t tested it, so it’s possible it will help. But that’s what oil brands like to do to gain more revenue!
Not sure that those oil cooler seals are a major leak source on the P2s. Cam seals much more likely. But since it is a 15 minute job (removing the plastic belly plate takes longer than changing the seals) and the seals cost about $1 each then why not do it. You do have to be careful of those torx bolts, they can be rounded out pretty easy.
We figured that the bolts were really weak. We’ve had throttle body bolts snap into our intake before… not fun at all. It seems Volvos bolts get very fragile over time and can leak to premature breakage when tightening them. Thanks for the info about the cam seals, such a big thing not to over look!
I remember I had an old 850 with almost the same motor, they had an oil cooler a little different, but them things still leaked
High mileage Volvos love to leak, but that doesn’t mean they’re not amazing cars!😎
If you keep your pcv good it shouldn’t blow the seals that’s the number one cause of them leaking
That’s a really good observation🤔 surprisingly that’s the only persistent problem that’s been created from a bad pcv system! The car has 174,000 miles to date!!
@@WhipGetters it won’t cause too many issues but obviously it’s not good to keep it clogged cuz the blow by will have no where to go but out of the seals lmao but that’s about the only real issue it causes that I know of might cause the engine to run like garbage too
That’s definitely going to be the next thing we change or upgrade! Thanks for the advice! The pcv system is something we have no idea about on the Volvos!🤣
Very informative
Lucky that area is dry on my volvo V70 2.5T, but last I checked on a oily spot was on the gearbox and that was from a previous leak in the power steering that was fixed (by replacing the entire steering column do to terrible design of a gasket placement 😤)
Some of the engineering on these cars make you think “now why the hell would someone do this?” These cars always make you rethink life!🤣 wonderful when they work, stressful when they don’t. But you gotta love them.
@@WhipGetters for me everything around the engine broke instead. But for the moment it runs like a clock 🤌🤌🤌
Need the 06 Monte Carlo SS on here....👀much needed TLC
What’s the torque spec? Do you need to replace the bolts when you replace the seals?
You don’t necessarily have to, but you can find both forms of info on forums!
Love this content!
I'm having a 2006 Volvo S60 T5 petrol manual and it smokes at the back of the engine ,what can I do to stop the smoke?
You first have to figure out where the smoke is coming from and why. There’s several causes that could make this happen. Engine blow by from a bad exhaust gasket, leaking oil, coolant lines that connect to the turbo, plenty of things. Figuring out where it’s coming from would be the first step!👍
Weird the cooler is leaking. Those actually don't leak all that often from my experience. Had an 01 with 200k, never leaked. My VR has about 190k and doesn't leak. What does leak, and it did seem like to me that it was the cooler, but it's the turbo drain seal and gasket.
Surprisingly to us as well it did. It almost seems like every Volvo has its own weird problems even though they’re all almost alike! 🤣Could have been due to a bad pcv system blowing the seals out!🤔🤔
Big Reek are you really using a torque wrench as a normal ratchet wrench while talking about not overtorquing bolts @ 2:40 ??? I watched it more than once and just don't hear the wrench click 😂😂😂
If you didn't know, those bolts go at 17Nm or 13lbf ft 😉
Sometimes modern problems need modern solutions!🤣
Sheesh euro cars are something
They’re a learning curve, but awesome!
Makes me want a Volvo so I have something to do tbh
It will definitely give you some work!!’
Yikes
looks scary
