Also, just wanted to ask how to clean the oil from the undertray, as even though there is no leak anymore, the undertray is still dripping.
I know it’s the undertray since I removed it and found that the undertray was dripping oil and the car didn’t drop a single drop

Gunk or Jizer or other similar degreaser ... if the foam pad/nappy liner thingy is saturated, it may take longer to clean, maybe a replacement pad is available from Volvo (I dont know) but worth while asking them if its that bad.

Do you think I should try to use some brake cleaner or would that make things worse?

It would certainly work ... (not sure about using it on the pad,) but its expensive compared to Gunk or Jizer or similar, plus it will flash off fairly quickly so you may end up using a lot more to clean the tray.
