Good response except for one point. I have owned 2 white block Volvos and have never heard of them leaking from the block. If the PCV is clogged on the 5 cylinder engines the excessive pressure normally causes them to leak through the rear camshaft seal, front camshaft seal, distributor shaft seal or oil cap.

OP - I’m not sure if your engine has ignition coils or uses a distributor. If it is coils you can ignore the distributor shaft seal idea...:)

Based on your responses my best guess is the front camshaft seal is leaking. Definitely try removing the timing belt cover and check the the front camshaft seal. If you don’t find a leak, clean your engine so you can pin down the source of the leak. Bear in mind that if you still have a clogged PCV and replace any seals without resolving the clog the seals will leak or blow out again.
