Round 1 upper timing chain seal — Horrible failure.
Did the gasket slip or did the car eat an oil seal.
Stay tuned to find out.
I actually encouraged my wife to drive the car today — she said no thanks I’ll take the Volvo, smart cookie.

@dan@weird.autos spoiler: the upper timing chain seal is perfectly fine. It's the front main seal this time. Which requires removing the lower timing chain cover to replace.
