Oh yeah, also the later engines you get in v70r and 2.4 and 2.5t v70/c70 are prone to hairline cracks in the head between cylinder abd Coolant passage. Coolant doesn't escape here, but under boost or high duty the combustion gasses force through thr little crack.
Very hard to spot even with head off, you need that uv or blue steel dye to find it. I imagine if not a simple fix that's what's wrong with mine also

Last chance saloon before I give up and accept its the head. Only reason Im bothering is it's not behaving in classic 'head gasket failure' sort of way. Plus this is very cheap. Have got a more experienced mechanic to do the work this time.
