I have a very nice running Volvo MD11C, with one minor exception......it has a very small leak or weeping oil. I can never find the exact location of where the oil weeps out. I get it on the front starboard motor mount but cannot figure out exactly we it is coming from? I have made sure the hose from the oil breather to the intake is secure. It is driving me batty trying to find it. It is very minor, but I would like to correct it while it is a very small weep.

Any ideas appreciated. I will be going to the boat this weekend.

Have you felt around the backside of the balancer? One of my Perkins developed front a seal leak and the oil would be flung around by the crank pully (which rode in the seal). Another notorious place for leaks on those is the timing chain cover but I don't know how these are on Volvos and couldn't tell from the pics I saw..
