Quick favor for those with access to VIDA or whatever the Volvo shop manual is
I've looked at the free ones out and can't find answer

2012 Volvo s60 t5

Looking for information on the turbo oil return line that removes unused oil from turbo and takes it back to the pan

Once unbolted from the turbo can I wiggle this loose from the oil pan?
I think yes per YouTube but wanted to be sure

Thanks!

This is the part

Looks similar to the one on my 2005 s60r.   Yes it’s a press fit on one side which meant it wouldn’t stop leaking.

Btw, the turbo doesn’t consume oil (normally) so all of it should return to the pan!

Appreciate the info
I did the gasket last weekend and scraped most of it off but leaking (manifold gasket job originally)

Didn't know the tube was replaceable so prolly need to replace that oring and make sure the gasket was fully scrapped off

Mistyped about the consuming oil
Except the weak piston rings on the car and leaks lol

The pipe was wiggly but pulled right out

Swapped the gasket on both ends of the pipe

Found why the car was skeeting oil

I didn't get all of old gasket last time, did it blind as I didn't know the return line just pulled out.

All cleaned up and ready for the ball

Also the aftermarket gasket wasn't round like the one I bought from dealer
Purple is factory, green is aftermarket

All is good. I ran her hard Saturday and kid driving to work and no oil drops since /knocks on wood


Volvos are fun cars
But watch them exhaust manifold studs :)
