. Hello all! First post I've been looking through your board and decided I need to join.
I pulled my drive to go through before we start the season and noticed some oil in the bellows. I made a pressure tester and started looking for leaks. The upper seal seems like it's holding but I'm worried about the oil. But the lower seal is definitely leaking.
I've got some bubbles after spraying with windex. I'm just wondering if I should have the upper and lower seals replaced or just do the bottom
. The oil in the picture has about 5 hours driving on it and probably 20hours total in the water. I can't really tell if there is water in the oil. It looks pretty normal to me. I'll see tomorrow how far it drops from 15 pounds.
I'm also wondering how expensive this could be? I need to look at the service manual and see how hard this would be to do myself. Sounds like there is a crush collar for the upper, or can I change the seal without removing it. I haven't looked into doing the prop seal yet as I was just expecting to do the top one.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Any good Volvo shops in Minnesota?
