I tracked my '99 C70 LPT's radiator leak to a sketchy internal seal/gasket on the passenger side where the aluminum tabs wrap around the plastic tank. After a few weeks of research and feedback on volvospeed.com and an abortive replacement radiator purchase attempt from VLVworld.com, I finally added 2/3 bottle of Bar's Stop Leak for Radiators, and all seems fine now. I don't expect it to last forever, but for $4 and a bit of education and experience, it's been worth it so far...

...but as wiser men than me have suggested here, find out where it's coming from before you do anything.
