Volvo Repair: 1997 Volvo S70 Oil Leak, crankcase pressure, flame trap


Question
I have 1997 Volvo s70 turbo. My car has an oil leak problem. The oil is not coming from the top of the engine. Head gasket looks clean and fine. It is definitely engine oil by the looks. Can you tell me where about I should look and find the leak problem. The car is really dirty around the front bumper area and underneath the engine. Can you please also advise me how much the repair could possibly be? In addition, I also have some electric problems with a courtesy lights, gear box light, and open door/ignition key indicator sound. The lights won't work and the indicator sound is always on. I have to change a fuse almost every single day but after a few min the fuse is dead. That problem started just a few days ago when I installed a new stereo. Do you think it would be just a wiring problem?
Thank you,

Answer
the fuse problem is either a shorted out wire or overload of the circuit if you added something to this circuit.

the oil problem could be a clogged flame trap or possible other engine problem causing excessive crankcase pressure.it will need to be looked at for a proper diagnosis.
