Subject: Water Vapor from Exhaust 85 900S


Hi everyone, I need help, I think it is the head gasket, but I need more opinions. Yesterday I replaced the pilot bearing on the flywheel, it all came out good (I should of done that when i did the clutch change a few months ago). Today I noticed that the car was getting hot and there was no water in the reservoir and there has been water vapors coming out of the exhaust and the end of this is getting very hot (near the rear bumper). I had this car since 91 and it wont quit. I think it is the head gasket but not sure. I did a compression test and got this results: cyl # 1---- 180 psi cyl # 2---- 180 psi cyl # 3---- 175 psi cyl # 4---- 176 psi Is that a good reading? I don't know what the values are. Also I discovered that the vacuum advance wasn't working after checking it with a brake vacuum bleeder so I ordered a new one. Now the Saab just developped an oil leak from the belts area after my wife hit and killed a cat (a black one by the way- what a luck for the cat). I wonder if it is coming from the oil pump and the seal at the crankshaft, any ideas where to start checking and what I have to do to get it repaired. I do my own repairs. Thanks in advance.
