Subject: 84 900 turbo still scared of the cold


This is getting rather anoying. I am now on about 20L of oil in my driveway, 6 oil filters... Every time i start my car in temps lower then -20 C(its been -30 to -50 for the past week and a bit) the car makes a sound like pressure is building and then i hear "drip drip drip" the sound of oil running down my engine bay onto my newly paved this summer driveway. I have purchased and installed a block heater which is working. I have replaced the oil pressure regulator valve (above the oil filter) I have tried oil filters by, fram, bosch, canadian tire, kent. I am using 10w 30 oil... I checked where the filter mates with the engine, its fine. Had a mechanic check it just incase too. I have tried filling the oil to only about half way... no luck. I can't have a winter car that doesnt work in the winter!!!! Right now i have extra filters in my lunch box and have to replace it EVERY time i start the car.... ARRRRRGGGGGGGG. I'm cold... Any idea's no matter how wild and crazy and theoretical would be very appreciated. i'm || close to just junking the piece of....... Matt
