If your engine or tranny is leaking oil... and has been for a long time, then the insulation between the solenoid and the relay is shorting to ground due to insulation failure (yep, believe it or not, Volvo used ABS insulation rather than teflon). Jack up the car and inspect the wire coming off the solenoid on the driver side of the tranny, if the insulation is cracked or missing, replace the wire. It might also be of value to resolve the oil leaks!
