The parts and labor bill is decent especially for Volvo parts. It doesn't take long to run up $1000 in labor charges either. Less than two days' work; and the head gasket alone is the better part of a thou at most places. And up.

The oil leak is very possibly from the plug in the back of the head. Those stupid plugs are notorious for leaking. Additionally, the valve cover gaskets often leak from the rear corners and drip down the back of the head, and onto the exhaust exactly where you said they did.

Possibly, the oil trap itself (under the intake manifold) is clogged, causing high crankcase pressure and contributing to the ongoing leak.
