this is not a blowby problem...blowby refers to the passing of gasses between the piston and cylender wall...I would bet dollars to donuts that you have not cleaned out the oil accumulator...that is the part that the flam trap is attached to...You are definately having crank case ventilation problems....if oil is escaping the valve cover at all that means that the crank case is pressurized...remember volvo valve covers have vacuum in them when opperating correctly...thats right...vacuum...therefor oil should never leak...check the oil accumulator...if it is full as my 345k miler was replace that and the o-ring that seals it to the block along with the flame trap and all the hoses as they tend to clog too...I had nearly identical symptoms...did the preceeding and had a new car in 45min...parts will run about $50 if I recall. Also the other guy has a point...check the cam plug and see if it has moved...additioanlly reseal that valve cover as the blown portions will now be vacuum leaks which will make the thing run like crap. good luck
