The job is a little fiddly but quite straight forward with no great problems- when I done my car (same model as yours) the parts just needed a light clean, this included the catchment tank. You may also find that the flame trap itself has been removed, common practice now to leave it out.
All parts are accessible without removing the manifold.
If you have a manual then it is also covered etc.
The oil build up is a likely cause of the crank case ventilation needing a service.
With a little luck all existing parts can be cleaned and reused:
Nothing to be afraid of- give it a go.
Good luck.

Hi Bob,
Many thanks for taking the time to reply to my question, and for offering your invaluable advice - I will give it a go!
I do have a manual of sorts....the Haynes one, not sure if that is what you are referring to as opposed to an official Volvo servicing manual?
I'm slightly phased by the response from Clan regarding the oil pipe sticking to the sump housing, so will watch out for that.....like everything on my car, nothing is budging easily and there is the constant fear of breakage etc!
Thanks once again.
Charles.
