My '96 850R Wagon's Rear Main Seal is leaking, not teribbly yet but enought to be anoying. I've read that a clogged flame trap can cause the Non Turbos to leak. What about the turbo, what/where should I check that might cause the leak. With the engine running if I remove the oil dip stick I get a fair amount of smoke, is that an indication of a clogged PCV system?
Thanks for an advice!

yes it is possible, depending on your mileage, etc. You will want to clean out your PCV system before replacing the seal. see this thread
http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?showtopic=17216
for a diagram of the turbo pcv hoses. at the bottom of the diagram, (cut of) the hoses go to an oil separator box under your intake manifold. In order to clean that you have to remove the intake manifold, which means you seed the associated replacement gaskets. Do a search of this forum for more details as a few of us are doing it now or have done it recently.
