How is oil removed from a Volvo XC90?
Crankcase gases from the XC90 are removed from the crankcase by vacuum (or by pressure when under boost) and sent into the intake airstream prior to where the intake air passes through the charge air cooler. Still with me?

Where is the oil trap on a Volvo?
This is fairly easy to explain because on just about every Volvo model the oil trap is located to the side of the engine block underneath the intake manifold. A few exceptions are when the oil trap is actually built into the oil filter box on Volvo C30, C70 2006-Up, S40 2004.5-Up and V50 models.

Where to look for oil leaks in a Volvo?
Oil leaks which can be seen below the engine or on top of the valve cover is common too. Look at the oil fill cap on top of the engine and look for oil residue. Also look at your engine oil dipstick for leaks. Engine Oil dipstick pops out of the pipe and keeps doing it every time you run the engine.
Why does my XC90 oil fill cap leak?
XC90 leak at the oil fill cap A leak from your oil fill cap could mean that you have excess crankcase pressure and the pressure is finding its way past your old, tired oil filler cap gasket. Contained in that crankcase pressure are blowby gases (from combustion) along with hot oily vapor (which is essentially the gaseous form of oil).
What causes an oil leak in a Volvo?
When cam seals wear out, oil can seep past them and leak down the front of the engine. What makes this leak hard to diagnose is that you have to take the timing belt cover off and really look hard to find the source. Now, it could also be that the seals were fine and that excess crankcase pressure is the culprit.
