1997 850 t5 coolant under car 850

I recently had about 3k worth of work put into my 850, I had to get a valve job because a volvo dealership did not inspect a hose after replacing a heater core causing all of my coolant to drain out and ruin my motor. I had the valve job, water pump, timing belt, head gasket, and various other items that were just "wrong" with this car. So far I am not impressed with the 850 reliabilty compared to my 89 240, 95 mazda rx-7, or yes, even my 1996 ford probe gt. The coolant was coming out from somewhere around the reservoir, but the res level was still at max? is there anything i can check before having to take off work to take the car to the volvo dealership, for the third time in 2 months?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brad
