Volvo: c70 t5 coolant and oil leak, losing coolant, coolant tank


Question
volvo garage can not find a coolant leak, garage has changed
hose's clips u name it they have replaced it. it has been on the
pressure tester for hours at a time. in the last 3 weeks the cyclinder
head went and was fixed by an independent garage. the garage
thought it was now fixed but it's still losing coolant, independent
also changed coolant tank. on top of losing coolant it's now losing
oil and garage can not find leak. oil seems to be coming from
bottom half of engine. any idea because it has totally puzzled both
garages?

Answer
Hello! I would try another shop. if you keep having to add coolant, the leak should be visible. Did they check the heater core? The oil leak needs to be checked out for a proper diagnosis. There are too many places for oil to leak for me to pinpoint it.
