A couple of weeks ago I posted about that line and if it's blocked, all the oil will do is back up into the breather box and when that's full it starts pushing out the seals!!
Obviously the PCV breather was not cleaned/replaced properly or thoroughly,
You need to do a COMPLETE breather box and have ALL hoses REPLACED now, this is not a simple cleaning and has to be done correctly.
Obviously you were not at my house a month ago when I had the manifold off and replaced ALL OF THE PARTS WITH NEW VOLVO PARTS- HOSE- BOX-ELBOWS- HOSE CLAMPS- WASHERS ETC
