My 9-5 started leaking oil from the headgasket at about 80,000 miles. The first version of the PCV mod had already been done and the tech opened the previously drilled out orfice to a larger hole. Retorquing headgasket was to no avail. Went with the drip until about 110,000 miles and then had the headgasket job done. After this was done, there has been far less oil accumulation in the throttle body. It stays very clean compared to previous state.
