Cute little trick to diagnose blocked CCV system...
I just came across this interesting little trick for diagnosing blocked CCV in the Volvo forum:
With the oil cap sealed, engine on, stick a balloon over the dipstick tube and see if it inflates. If it inflates you need to service the PCV system.
...Lee
I think he meant with the dipstick removed, so the balloon goes over the dipstick housing.
No balloon, no problem, get an old dish washing glove, cut a "finger" off and tie it with rubber band.

I used engine degreaser with a little pipette. I tested by blowing into the tubes.
