We drove a few hundred miles, average speed 82 mph, the car leaked a quart of oil. Had an indie shop check it...he was not particularly familiar with Volvo's he seemed sure it was the head gasket leaking. There wasn't any coolant in the oil...he said it wasn't that kind of leak.

I don't think I have heard of that being a problem on this board with our cars.

There wasn't any difference in drivability or performance. Just oil which leaked out and was all over the back of the rear of the vehicle.

Edited to add that the coolant light came on a couple of weeks ago intermittent and we topped it off. The car hasn't overheated.

Anyone?
