    There is no 'traditional' valve cover on these motors. What you are looking at when you think you're looking at a valve cover is actually the top of a two piece head. If you have oil under the plastic 'Volvo 20 Valve' cover, I would suspect a problem with you're PCV system. A clogged flame trap can push oil out through your oil fill, etc.

    Simple.
    Remove valve cover and "carefully" remove the old gasket material.
    Scrape it away with a dull slot screwdriver so as not to scratch it, and wipe
    away the remainer with a solvent such as paint thinner, etc.
    Replace the removed gasket with "RTV" gasket material (comes in a tube) and be
    careful not to apply too much or too little.
    Now bolt cover back in place, give the RTV a couple of hours to set, and your ready to go.
    I did this on my old 760 about 8 years ago and never had another problem.
    Good luck,
    Armie

    There is no gasket on those engines. They use a special sealer that is rolled on.And it is big job that requires special tools.
