'03 9-3ss repairs needed

At 11,000 miles I noticed a clicking noise and feel from the sttering wheel/column. Had to wait a week, no problem, for appointment time at dealer during which a smell of coolant fluid was noticed in the cabin area. Looking under the hood I noticed the bolt on top of the power sttering pump ha fresh fluid on and around it, so I wiped it off and drove a while only to have the "Coolant level low" warning come on the SID. Yessterday, after the dealer checked the car I was notified that the car needs a new steering column and power steering pump. As the parts were not in stock, they added coolant and said it was fine to drive until the parts came in (2-3 days).
Still smell the fluid in the engine, though the level hasn't dropped much. I've limited my driving to local only.
Dealer also performed "software upgade" after I showed them the letter from Saab USA. No noticeable differences.
Any others with similar experiences?
Car has been trouble free otherwise.
