Are you certain that it is (engine) oil, 'Volvoaus'? If your car is an auto, it could well be ATF. I had this happen on my 745 when the ATF cooler built into the radiator failed, allowing cross-contamination of the two fluids.
A new rad, coolant flush and ATF change solved the problem and saved the 'box. Regards, John.

You have posted in the wrong forum. This one relates to the later SPA platform cars.
The forum for 740s is https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=14
