Crud Under Oil Cap

[June]

Good to know fixer333. Jiffy lube charges me $110 for a synthetic oil change, maybe I will try a new place.

I got the breather hose replaced and placed the glove on the oil cap and revved the engine. To my disappointment it stood up. Is the pcv system the most likely cause of the crud under my oil cap?

For $110! that's dealer price without getting the genuine Volvo filter. June

Yes it's very likely that the PCV system is to blame. It's a bit of a job if you decide to DIY, but well worth it in the end. Your engine will be QUITE happy. When I did my 98 S70, the difference was LITERALLY night and day. Good luck.
