Congradulations you have one of the best Volvo's every built. Take care of it fot it's the last of it's kind.
With 70k miles on the car, has the timing belt been changed? If you don't know or can't be absolutly sure get it down to the shop and have it done right now. Thes engines are interference engines and if the timing belt go the whole engine goes with it. Have 205k on mine and still runs like a champ.
Go to www.auto r-x.com buy a couple bottles of this product and do the treatment, after completing that, switch to Moble 1 synthetic oil. Go to the faqs pages and check them for the transmissions on these cars. Flush the tranny with moble 1 syn trans fluid. Get all that down and you are not going to belive how smooth a car you have.
As for being able to see the oil cooler under your car, sounds to me that you need a skid plate for you vehicle. I just bought a HD one on line from
Fcp Groton-Volvo. Cost was 38 bucks and the hardware mounting kit was another 8 dollars. There is supposed to be one there on your car, sounds like it was taken out when your air dam went.
Good Luck
