    So oil separator and air compressor.
    After some quick searches on google, it looks like I can get some seals/o-rings for the oil separator. Now the top half of the air compressor is my worst leak. Is that serviceable or a replacement item only? 2010-Volvo-D16-Engine-Assys-IhLO8glHkSau_f.jpg

    If it was me......fix the separator and clean up the oil. Chances are it is oil migrating from the leak.
    The air compressor can be rebuilt but Volvo wont sell you the parts to rebuild it. A shop that specializes in rebuilding air compressors can handle that.

    Thanks Socal!
    The leak from the separator is minor while the one on the compressor seems to be getting worse. Now to find someone local that can work on the compressor.

    Appreciate the help!

    you can get a spare parts kit for breather it comes filter and the gasket so you can split it away from the base they should be 10 mil bolts the other make sure to check that it's not your engine harness dripping on compressor being that there is no oil in the top half of air compressor just fed in the bottom at the compressor crank but check harness cuz it looks like its coming from top and dripping down on air compressor i have to do a d16 for this next week, also make sure you change the gasket for the breather base beiing that it always leaks bad.

    Thanks Nasriza! I'll start with the separator and work my way to the harness.
    How big of a job is the harness? I know the harness itself is spendy.. wondering how long to change it out if I attempted it myself
