91 240 wagon (151k miles) , more transmission problems...and a new noise 200

about a week ago I posted about a problem with the automatic transmission not shifting into OD, the shift light comes on (not always) but now I have what I call "transmission shutter". starting off from a full stop you fell a shimmy in the drive train that last about 2, maybe 3 seconds. OK after that. Any ideas on the problem here ?
Also, totally different is a humming noise from behind the dash, sounds like a faint warning buzzer that goes constantly as long as the vehicle is running. ??
When taking the oil filler cap off I notice the cam and rocker arm assembly has a redish glaze tint to it, is this normal on volvo, engine is a b230f, also with the engine running and oil cap off I can put my hand over the filler hole and feel a lot of pressure pushing against my hand, is this normal? Folks you will have to excuse my ignorance here but I'm new to this board and even newer to owning a volvo, despite the problems I just love those square body styles. Thanks for all comments in advance, this a fantastic site.
ps-about what should I expect to pay to have the front struts replaced ?
thanks again.
