Yes, it's normal. Those bellows are thin to begin with, In salt water, I changed my bellows every other year. Just to prevent any kind of leak problems.
Changing the bellows is a simple job. Remove the upper gear box, replace the seals and bellows and your's set to go.

Here is the link to the Volvo section from the stickies at the top of the forum. Now you know why you should actually look at the stickies. They are there for a reason.
