Make sure there's no marring or scratches on the sealing surfaces?

Front or rear?
+1 on making sure the aluminum wasn't nicked upon seal removal.

This is what I found upon removing mine. No wonder why the damn car always leaked.

Just to make sure on you meaning of "OEM"--genuine Volvo, not OEM-grade? I replaced mine with one of the common "OEM" ones--think they were Elring--and they didn't last long. Better to use the factory ones here, if you didn't.

Volvo OEM and then tried aftermarket. Both leak.

I bought cam seals from napa when I first got my 850, lasted 60k miles and still looked good when we ripped apart the engine for parts for the s70
Try those, if nothing else its only 14$ down the hole.

See my reply in your other thread. Don't use a screwdriver to install them. Don't use any RTV. Use wheel bearing grease on the inner lip.
