Default Xc90 swirl arm

Hi All
I have a 2007 xc90 d5.
At 50k the swirl arm came off .Replaced and at 60k came off again !
Looking at the old arm I noticed it was covered in oil from the cover above .
A common leak I'm told
The oil seemed to have caused the seat on the arm to soften
I have put a new arm on with a good dob of silicon grease on the arm cups
I'm hoping the silicone will protect the cup from the effects of engine oil .It also provides lubrication
Time will tell if it helps this problem !
Cheers Pete
