Is there anybody out there who has advice on my post below. I would like some insight before my local Volvo shop lays it to me!
Is oil collecting on top of the head near the plugs most likely a PCV issue or bad rings causing blow by? Anybody out there run in to this and have it caused by other than the PCV system?
How much would a garage most likely charge to replace the system, to include the hoses?
Also, anybody here have a lot of issues with suspension on the S70, such as eating struts and strut mounts. I had mine replaced about 15 months back and am already hearing the rattle/squeek when going over bumps.

I would try the simple things first - replace the rubber seal on the oil cap.

If the oil trap and some hoses need to be replaced I would expect to pay about $150-200 for parts. I would guess labour should be around 2-4 hours.
