Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

It has certainly been passing oil through it but whereabouts on the engine was this?

It looks like an aftermarket flame trap vac line adapter. Goes into the hose on the vapor separator box on side of block under #3 intake runner. The vac hose goes on inboard side of intake that faces the valve cover. The hose from the top of that fitting goes to the black plastic hose from MAF/air cleaner to throttle.

Thank you, Jimmy. That was what it looked like to me but I haven't seen one that shape before.

It is the flame trap. You can get it for pretty cheap:

If that is busted, you may want to take a look at the rest of the PCv system. The box under this piece gets very clogged up after a while
