When I replaced the rubber plug that fell out on my V70 AWD D5 , I undid the prop and driveshafts , then took the whole lot out the top.
Not sure about XC90 , but my XC90 seemed to have more room than the V70 ,so worth look in to .
I did not have to remove the sub frame or steering .
Having got the whole lot out , it was not to bad to remove the gear box.
Also the rate of oil loss was around 1.5L per hundred miles ,and yes the plug had fell out as it was ground down by the edge of the ring gear.
