Smok'in '99 9-5 (and other issues) - long

No, not the tires but the exhaust at cold start-up. Has progressively gotten worse. Even co-workers have pointed it out. Called dealer (in CT) and they stated Saab has a bulletin on the turbo oil seal problem and they have changed many. Dealer mentioned that if it was a MY2000, it could be computer issue with start-up, not so in a '99. I have used Mobil 1 since new. Wonder if this delayed the smoking.
Also going to have gas tank baffle installed. It doesn't bother me but drives the wife crazy. Possibly because she is not often in the car and when she is, insists on a full tank.
Also have minor trim issues: the front seatback seam pops open (where the pocket is). The plastic track may be stressed. Not sure what kind of fix may be available since this trac is stiched into the vinyl/leather.
And, the rear center vent console is loose, to the point it pops out when removing a 12V power plug.
I would be interested in if others have had similar issues.
