Well, who knows? Not to be flippant but it all depends on too many things: why the leak, how big, how hard to fix, etc. As far as "safe", what are you gonna hurt at this stage? You obviously don't care enough to fix it. Volvos are robust. Additives may do good or do damage, definitely not the preferred way to fix problems.

Thank you, Lev, for responding... I wasn't sure if I would be able to get anyone's attention w/ my modest post.
But geez, Lev... way to shame a newby in a pinch...
The truth is this car belonged to my mother who passed away suddenly last year from Covid at 90, still living independently in our family home in Central Florida. She was the sweetest person I've ever known, and she has left a huge hole in our lives. This car was only driven back and forth in our small home town, and yes, wasn't probably hadn't been properly maintained for awhile.. Now that we, the out of state family, are congregating to clear out her home, my childhood home, I am the one who has the most interest in this car, for sentimental reasons. I realize it will need a thorough servicing if I am to keep it and use it more than she did, but yesterday, I was simply seeking some quick advice to help us better understand my options in that moment.
The advice was appreciated; the shaming, unfortunately, was not.
Times are hard; a little kindness can go a long way, as can a little unkindness.
Stay safe out there, Lev... it's getting scarier by the day. SusieB. in StLouie
