This is exactly right- you'll probably find a leak on the bottom side of either the short hose on the driver's side of the intercooler (about 3 inch diameter, about 3-inch long), OR in the L-shaped molded hose that goes into the intake manifold (basically right next to the left front strut).
Oil in the system rots the rubber right away. Any pinhole air leak will cause this exact situation. If removing these hoses shows any evidence of "missing" rubber or exposed white cord reinforcement in the hose, you've got rubber rot- replace the hoses. Try FCP Groton or your local Volvo dealer.
The short one's cheap- the big one's are not.

As for driving it around... duct tape works remarkably well at sealing those leaks for a short while. Seriously.
