Engine Mechanical problem
1993 Volvo 850 Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 93 volvo 850, when I bought the car I was told the valve cover was leaking but I put a new one on and it is still leaking oil. when i look under the car it seems to be alot, and when i take the dipstick out of the engine I can see a slight mist of oil blow out,so i know there is too much pressure in the engine. It dont have a pcv valve but it does have something called a oil separator, does that have any thing to do with it or am I on the wrong track?
