i havent gotten a change to look under there yet.. this all happend when i got my batt light on... ever since that happend.. but the alt is fine ive driven it for about 3.5k with it like that just the batt died a few times.. so thats why i hope its the batt.. but when i get a chance i will get it checked in a place that does volvos and bmws only.. to check it they said it was $70 instead of $120 or something at BMW.. how would i check the fluid levels?? since there is no dip stick?

Ps it was 104k miles on it... i think it might be the original batt but i dunno yet till this wed..
