It sounds like you still have pressure in the crankcase that should mot be there. Make sure the PCV (flame trap) system is free of blockages. Can you easily blow through the oil separator/breather box? The oil filler cap should not bounce on the valve cover, there should be vacuum holding it on to the cover. I have heard that Volvo recommends removing the flame trap from the system? You might try this to see if it reduces the pressure. Dan
