Yeah that’s what I’m worried about.

I caved and removed the oil pan and resealed it today. Interestingly there was ZERO liquid gasket on the mating surfaces. Is this common? Does the Volvo factory just slammed these two pieces together without any sealant? There was a fair amount of oil on the mating surface of the pan closest to the tranny. I’m hopeful that the seal on the pan just gave out. Very strange thought that there was no trace of any gasket whatsoever. And I mean No trace.
