I don't know how the 240 induction is laid out, but that could be a sign of
a properly operating Volvo crankcase ventilation system - really! Wherever
the large hose from the flame trap (or the "Y" housing that can hold a flame
trap) connects to the intake ducts, a significant amount of oil mist is
brought in. It normally coats the inside of the ducts and pools in low
spots. It isn't good for the ducts and softens the bottoms, but there isn't
any actual "fix."
