Thanks for the thought on the oil cap. I put a new one on shortly after the PCV redo x3. The leak or leaks are coming for the drivers side of the motor. Stopped by the Volvo place yesterday and they offered about 9 different things that could be wrong.
The suggestion is very simple...Take the hoses off, clean good, assemble, drive,unassemble, look for leaks,assemble, go purchase parts,unassemble, fix ..reassemble and drive. Now I need a warm day this weekend to do it.
Thanks all for the input.
