Thank you for the responses to my oil-related ailments. I apologize for the prolonged radio silence but life gets in the way of our hobbies sometimes. The Volvo has been sitting so long the battery has lost its charge. I'm going to de-grease once more and check behind the front timing belt cover for oil. If this area is dry I'll charge the battery, start the engine, and play the waiting game. It is an auto so I will take your advice v8volvo and put the rear on jack stands.

Ideally I'd like to get this sorted before winter rolls in. I've lost a good amount of time but if I'm lucky I should be able to make some progress.
