It would not make sense to get an oil cap gasket from the States. The dealer, or a junk yard would be the easiest places to get that in Canada. You can get common parts like calipers, mufflers, pads etc. from lots of places in Canada. Canadian tire has some parts (I don't trust the quality of these), and most Auto parts places like UAP have parts too. The best source I have found is Altrom, but they will only sell to shops, except on the internet site mentioned in another post. Altrom also carries a lot of more specific parts for Volvos, like fuel injection parts and gaskets. In most cases their prices work out about the same as American mail order prices once all the extra costs are factored in. Another place in Canada is Swedish motors in Toronto.
240s usually don't have engine problems. They usually rust out before the engine wears out. And with the piles of rusted out cars with red blocks sitting in junk yards in Canada its probably cheaper to get a used block than the repair one with internal problems. There could be lots of other issues with a car that old,such as calipers, but most repairs are usually not that expensive on 240s.
