On the Volvo list, the general agreement that whilest yes, it could mean a
head gasket, more often than not it's from short, quick trips in the car where
the car doesn't get the chance to fully warm up. My Saab gets it too, as it's
my wife's car, which isn't used as much as my car (which never gets it.)
