Turbo line oil leak on 99 S70 GLT

[sorintri]

OK folks, I've read here and other sites about the traditional turbo
line oil leak these S70's develop and I'm pretty sure my wife's car
has the same issue.

Now my question: is it worth fixing? Is that a DIY job Personal
mechanical aptitude roughly to the point where I can replace spark
plus and brake pads, so can I do it on myself?

If not, how much work is it entitled, how much should I expect an auto
shop to charge me for it?

Thanks in advance.

This job is much easier with the car in the air but if you have a good
set of ramps or jack stands then you should be able to perform with out
much trouble. But if the car is all wheel drive then this is best left
for your local Volvo dealer or independent Volvo specialist
