I'd like to suggest you replace all the hoses, The two for the oil cooler and heater hoses as well. Then the two for the plastic tank as well. You've got 100K on it now and it's time. I replaced the rad on the 960 about 2 years ago and then all the hoses later. The top hose was leaking slightly and maybe it wasn't quite tight enough but I didn't want to take any chances.

Use Volvo coolant too. Check the heater valve as well.

Good luck.
