I didn't check 5 & 6 independently; I'll also have to check out the IP.

The battery voltage before glow plugs are energized is 12.8v.

It's leaking at the hard line just a few inches before the injector (3, I think?) I put some epoxy on it for now to slow the spray down to a leak.
It still leaks enough that after driving, when I park the car and get out, I can smell the diesel from the engine.

I run 10w-30 in the warmer weather and the 5w in the colder weather. (I think that's what the original Volvo manual recommended)

Would a bad temperature sensor be the reason why the glow plugs are on for 45s no matter the temp outside?
