My S40 is the same, and I wondered if there was a hose connecting to something that should be there but isn't.

yes that vent pipe is normal . i have seen this problem before and the carbon canister was full of fuel effectively blocking it up . I can only assume this happened when the tank was over filled to the top on a cold evening , and the following day the outside temperature went up to 30+ C or so . The fuel has to expand and over 5 litres can be expelled into the breathing pipes and canister .
