Completed partial maintenance weekend and this car is a riot to learn stuff on.
- ATF is fine, clean, plentiful and similar situation with the brake fluid. No changes.
- Power steering fluid was brown and murky, so switched it up to the Volvo green splooge.
- Belts looked fine with no cracks
- Brakes are still thick
- Finding the oil trickle is tricky. Still haven't found it,
Checked around the turbo, which meant removing piping around the air filter. Good thing I did, because the air filter is nasty.

Cleaned the baby turbo with some Spray Nine and a toothbrush. Lots of accumulation. There's also an open nipple that I have no idea where it leads to. Looks like a valve for the wastegate?

While searching for that elusive oil leak, I thought there was an open valve for the PCV. Turns out it was a coolant plug. FML.
Screwed it back in, refilled the coolant and cleaned the garage floor. While that dried up, I detailed the car and refreshed the grille! So many rock chips. Not anymore.

I found a HBC boost controller in my glove compartment, except I've never used one. Is it necessary?
Went to Edmonton from Calgary a couple of weekends ago with the Brick. Ran fine and mileage was decent with half tank usage.
10L/100kms on highway. Pretty decent.
Catch can picked up maybe 400ml from this trip. Empty and GTFO.
So the leak is on the bell housing, and I have a scheduled appointment with Valentine Volvo to get a formal diagnosis and repair scheduled in.
Meanwhile, I did this:
