I've read in the Volvo literature that the system has 3oz of oil in the evap, and 2oz or so in other components. Also the oil does leak out a bit when in cold weather the 0-rings shrink and lets out some gas...probably what you're dealing with now unless you have a leaking evaporator. The extra oil your adding with the gas isn't going to hurt. I just wouldn't go adding any more (like from just the oil can additive). The "goop" I was talking about was the stop-leak and some of the cans have other additives as well. These do nothing more than gunk up your system in the long run and should be avoided.
