If there is coolant in the engine oil pan typically you'll see a white/brown frothy substance on the underside of the oil filler cap. When this is the case it's usually due to a bad headgasket... Check the cap and change the oil as you were planning on doing.

Odd that your mechanic won't touch your car, it's a Volvo engine, he probably doesn't know much about it. It's a GOOD thing that he refused considering the V6 engines are more sensitive than the 4 cylinders (so I've heard), any mechanic working on the V6 should know what he/she is dealing with.

Good luck,
Bean
