S40 D2 1.6D 2013 oil leak?

Charlierfc · Jan 12th, 2020, 13:14

Hi all, I have noticed some oil laying on the top of the engine but I have no idea where it is coming from! It's mostly laying on the plastic large hose to the left of the engine when your standing in front of the car. I took this plastic hose off and searched under it for any obvious leaks. Can't find anything. I even put my hand over one side of the plastic hose and blew into it to see if leaking...nothing!

Any ideas? Was thinking maybe was coming from filler cap but don't see any signs of leaks from it.

I cleaned it up and checked a week later and oil was back.
Just can't figure out from where!

I previously had the 'reduced engine performance' warning, but after using some redex and better diesel it seems to be OK. So I don't think that was related.

Maybe a bad oil cap/cap seal?

That's what I thought but can't see any sign of oil round the side of the cap.

Turns out it had a leak under high pressure on the plastic joint.

Hi I have a 2014 v60 1.6 D2 and have noticed some misting around the same area. What did you do to solve the oil leak you had?
