2000 V40 oil leak

[Ron (4)]

Has any run into an oil leak from the intake camshaft variable timing pulley? Is this repairable or does the pulley need to be replaced? Does not look like a leaking cam seal. Only leaks on cold starup.

Thanks for any help

There is a replaceable seal, but there is a variety of special tools needed to set up the camshaft correctly - not a job for anyone without the factory manual and these tools.

If you can please tell me what the special tools are and where to get them and needed information without having to buy a small fortune for information for one job ?

Thanks Much

you need to get the manual (vary vary Important) you can brake a good censer and only need the O Ring ! but for the $188.63 (Parts Geek.com #836-07038386) i would just replace it !
the Rear one is a lot more To do but if u don't want to pay VOLVO shop $1200.00
