Hi Gerry,
I had the angle gear housing leak on my '97 850 AWD stick-shift wagon. It was fixed at the local Volvo dealership about a year ago.. The work involved didn't seem to be the grinding/milling of the "join" that you mention. Instead, lots of seals and O-rings, some quite expensive. I have the complete list if you're interested. The job took three hours ($315 Canadian). Parts and oil $221 .
