The reservoir has some coolant in it.
I noticed that there is no radiator cap.
I also noticed the sticker says to only use Volvo coolant. Is that true?
With fluid in the reservior why would the indicator light be [...]

Volvo S60-
My wife drove over a rock and dented the exhaust pipe, protective bracket, and scratched the drive shaft. I took it to a repair shop and he unbent the bracket and pipe- he said that the scratches on the drive shaft would not affect performance.
The car seemed fine when I picked it up. [...]

Ok… my 2000 volvo s40 overheats after being driven during hot weather or if i am stuck in traffic for a while, but doesn’t happen if its cold outside..

It is burning oil, so that means oil is getting into the combustion chambers….but im not exactly sure which piece has gone bad? or for that matter what the valve guides are in the first place. Could the lifters have gone bad too? Can someone tell me what piece is most likely the cause for [...]

Note: I am familiar with working on cars but this is an odd one.
This has happened about 5 times over the last year. Come out in the morning (warm or cool weather, mostly cool) and the car revs fine, almost starts, then does a ‘fast/high-rev’ – just as if the spark plugs have been [...]

You don’t say what engine it is but I had the same thing happen, it was the engine oil cooler. When one of the tubes inside goes bad the engine oil leaks into the raw water side (since the oil pressure is higher then the water pressure) and comes out the exhaust.
