    Yeah right.

    Bars stop leak doesn't work on cam/crank seals. The seal is blown because there was
    excess crankcase pressure, it ruptured the seal.

    Stop leak stuff only works on gaskets, if you're lucky. It swells up the seals, works on
    cork, and some synthetic compound rubber gaskets. Does not work at all on wiper seals.

    Unionville Volvo in well.... Unionville (which is located just out of Toronto, ON Canada).
    They are owned by Volvo Villa. I would highly recommend them, the sales dept was top
    notch, they fixed all the deficiencies before we picked up the car, and the oil leak is on
    the house.

    Thanks to the people at Unionville Volvo. This is our 2nd Volvo.

    I'm glad they did the right thing. There are some great Volvo dealers, some
    OK Volvo dealers and some crummy Volvo dealers. It sounds like yours is at
    least in the OK category.

    Enjoy!
