Some Volvo S60 owners report experiencing oil leak issues that trigger a low oil light after cam seal replacement. These problems can stem from a blocked Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system, which may lead to pressurization of the engine block and subsequent oil leaks. Additionally, if the cam seals are not replaced correctly, further leaks can occur. Owners also note that overfilling the oil can contribute to leaks from the camshaft seals, making it vital to check that oil levels are within the recommended range. After replacing the cam seals, monitoring oil levels and checking for signs of leaks regularly is advised to catch any issues early. If the low oil light continues to persist, some owners find it necessary to troubleshoot other potential causes, such as front main seal leaks or PCV system problems, to identify the root cause of the oil leak.
