I'm down in that area on my own motor now, and I can't see how any kind of leak from the timing cover area would show up as oil dripping down the oil filter.
Most likely candidates for a source would be the pressurized oil feed line to the turbo, or the oil return line from turbo to sump, both of which run right above the filter.
Or as I said earlier and BobS also suggests, the oil filter itself could be leaking at its gasket.
Get another mechanic to look at it and tell you where he thinks it's coming from. Don't tell him what your guy says, just ask.
Doesn't even need to be a Saab specialist, just someone willing with a lift and good eyes.
