2001 9-5 Oil leak - Vent Case Breather Update Kit?

I had a local shop replace my serpentine belt last week, and they said that the crank case on my 2001 9-5 (62k miles) was leaking. I called the nearest dealer to find what it would cost to get it fixed. The service advisor said it probably needed a vent case breather update kit, and the cost would be around $350. The car is now out of warranty. I have 3 questions.
1. It sounds like this is a well known problem, although I couldn't find any info on it on this site. Does anybody know about this upgrade kit or have any background on the problem?
2. It seems that this is a known problem by SAAB. Has anybody been in a similar situation and gotten SAAB to pick up the bill, or at least part of it?
3. For those in California, is there any chance this is covered under California smog laws, and SAAB would be forced to pay?
Thanks!
