I just got the vehicle and noticed a leak. Thought it was the transmission fluid but it turns out to be oil leak and was told that the front main seal needs to be replaced. Is this a common problem with volvo

Hi violetfairy723,

Seals leaks with age and for a 8 year old vehicle, this should be normal no matter what make or model it may be.
