it was the turbo seal leaking and it is sure to get worse at some random rate -- meaning it is hard to predict when it'll ultimately fail. The fact that the car has only 29K on it didn't seem to surprise them at all. Supposedly, the latest 9-5s don't use this turbo any longer given its early (and often) failure rate.
They've replaced the turbo under CPO warranty. (I wonder if the CPO warranty help dealers look for troubles more easily.) The work order also lists the PCV update even though I didn't ask for it. May be it developed a leak, too, though I wouldn't have known where to look.
Thanks for all the responses, BTW. Cheers-
