I've read your post at https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=281231

From your tagline I assume yours is a T5 - which has a turbo - I'm sure I've read something about the intercoolers failing or cracking in these models and then intermittently leaking large quantities of oil which gets sprayed back over the underside of the car.

However, it could be that the oil seals on the turbo have failed but I'd have thought you would have seen smoke from the exhaust
