I suspect that the head gasket may be failing.
I have seen this type of coolant leak happen on a few different models of SAAB. It can leak from between the cylinder head and engine block in any number of spots. Once the engine warms up the cylinder head expands just enough to close the gap where it is leaking. During short dives the cooling system pressurizes just enough to force out of the defective gasket spot.
If such is the case : Best solution is to replace the head gasket. Big job, but better to due it before it gets more serious and accidentally over heat and warp the head.
