Have you looked at a timing belt? It is a wonder that this small item can last more than a couple of years!

Change the belt - while you are at it, replace the seals on the front of the engine - they are cheap compared to the consequences of an oil leak on the belt.

Doesn't your service manual specify mileage and time for replacement?

If you do not have a service book, I think that you can get one on Volvo's site or others.
