The positive crankcase ventilation or PCV system uses engine vacuum to draw crankcase vapors into the intake where they are directed into the combustion chamber and burned. This keeps pressure from developing in the crankcase which could otherwise cause gaskets and seals to leak. It also reduces sludge build up by drawing out water vapor. Once the engine reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) water in the oil turns to steam and is extracted with the other engine vapors.

Where is the PCV valve located on a 1998 Volvo S70 5cyl non turbo?
Strictly speaking it doesn't have a pcv valve it has a pcv system. Generally the part that gets plugged is the oil trap. Pretty much the whole pcv system is under the intake manifold and you have to remove it to do any work. Look on any sight that sells parts for volvos and they'll probably have a diagram of the system.
