EDIT: sorry bad forum :) please delete my post here ... thx


Hello all,
my 2000 9-5 Aero with 116000 km on it runs well without problems but I realized that oil is leaking somewhere. There is no smoke from exhaust after cold or warm start and I haven't seen smoke under acceleration but maybe there is any, I don't know. Also I haven't seen oil in the engine compartment except very small leak (several drops) from camshaft seal probably.

Last time in service (Saab specialist) they removed oil pan (minor sludge here, but inside of the engine was clean), cleaned pan and oil pump filter. Also all PCV hoses are new and of course oil filter and Mobil1 5W-50 oil.
They measured cylinder pressures and this is OK (they said 12 or so if I remember, same value in all cylindres).

What can I check next ? Turbo ? Or something else, lets say common ?
If it could be turbo (I know it could), is there any relatively cheap solution ? I found rebuild kit for TD04 for DIY job, anyone tried ?

A lot of questions I know, thanks :)
