I can not account for the seal ending up where it did. Perhaps it was not the original seal as you suspect. Maybe if it was a replacement the person installing it did so improperly and drove it in far beyond where it should have been- perhaps to the extreme limits of its ability to remain in place? If that were the case maybe it finally lost its grasp of the carrier and fell back?

Lots of maybe and perhaps but the reason is not important. The only seals I have encountered on the red block Volvos that fit loose are the cam seals. I have used very small amounts of gasket cement on those to insure they remain in place. I have never had a crank seal fit loosely. Personally I would not use gasket cement on that seal.

Good luck,
Randy
