I have been having having a rough idle and stalling problem recently, with a whistling sound from the engine (sounded like its coming from under the intake manifold (2001 V70). I noticed the same suction or vacuum present at the oil filler cap and dipstick (very strong). Based on a hunch and some past experience (1800, 240, 740) I started looking for a flame trap, or some kind of similar crankcase ventilation device, but couldn't find it... I searched ALLDATADiy to no avail... and your post was right near the top of the list today. What luck! So they've buried the oil separator (aka oil trap) under the intake manifold! Geez! This makes me never want to get rid of my '91 240 or '73 1800ES!!! Now I'll have to order the parts and wait until next weekend to devote my time to the tear-down that you have described above.
