Sadly, the level does go down, but not *into* the engine. Positive pressure from somewhere in the engine is leaking out, in to the coolant and pushing it overboard. Then, when she cools down, there is an air bubble in the cylinder head.

Since the local Volvo mechanic, Richard's Import Store, in Gainesville, has such a good reputation, and is so reasonable in price, the car is getting dropped off there this evening. I already have a rental booked, and am looking forward with great pleasure to the prospect of someone else pulling the cylinder head and doing the repair. Especially in this Florida heat :)
