  • In this video, I uncover the source of an oil leak on our 1991 Volvo 940 SE, and also provide a few other maintenance updates on this project.

    Good find. Glad oil leak was simple

    That tube that goes down into the pan can be problematic if it gets hard. I'd have replaced that while it's still pliable. Also the llittle tube that feeds vacuum to the oil separator on the manifold gets clogged with carbon . Just run a little piece of wire through it to keep it clear. Also look at that overdive solenoid. They develop leaks and most just replace it with a block off plate but that could have been what dissolved your bushings.

      @@Vehicularious Well I should also warn if that tube gets hard and doesn't move easily you should not attempt to replace it unless it is necessary. I dropped the pan to replace mine. I was doing the bearings, oil pump and seals but I learned all about that in the process.

    Please tell me you did not install or use a "Uro" hose. Those are garbage.
    Next step: replace those vacuum hoses!
    Also, the 2 small screws that hold the TPS (throttle position switch) are 3mm Allen (hex) head.

      Yes, I definitely want to go through this engine bay and replace all the vacuum hoses. I do not install any URO hoses; if there is one in the video then it must have been on the car when I bought it.
      After filming this video, I replaced the brake booster to manifold vacuum hose with a new one from FCP Euro. That was the worst looking hose in my engine bay!
