Scary vacuum leaks



Trust me -- PRV sucks air EVERYWHERE. Is unlike anything I've ever
encountered on this side of the Pond. Major component of my ownership
has been chasing vacuum leaks all over the stupid thing. And I'm not
alone -- read comments in Volvo newsgroups (260/760 series). You need
to check so much more than just vacuum hoses and manifold mating
surfaces. See Message #33719 for starters. FWIW: my biggest leak
currently is seal around crank shaft in timing chain cover.
