Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - Oil leaking onto the top of the transmission

Hi everyone.
About 6 months ago, I had my mot and the only advisory I had was for a minor oil leak.
Yesterday, I decided that I was going to get to the bottom of it.
Removing the airbox, I found a lot of oil on top of the transmission, and there was even a bit of a puddle in one of the crevices.
There is no oil leaking underneath the car.
I have a few questions:
First, what is causing this oil leak
Second, is it possible to fix this myself (I only have a few hand tools, such as a socket set and torx set.)
Third, is it even worth it to fix?
Fourth, where do I navigate to in Vida2014d to find the repair manual
I look forward to your help.
Happy Easter!
