Sometimes a seal in the water pump can leak as the pressure drops in the cooling system. Pressurized can cause the lip of the seal to seat and then when the pressure releases (or becomes slightly negative), the seal backs away slightly. There is a hole just after the seal to indicate a leak (tell-tale hole, or something like that?). My 2002 SAAB V-6 lost the water pump at 50,000 miles. My Dealer also told me they've seen a lot more corrosion issues, heater control valve failures and water pump failures on 2002 and newer SAAB's using the Dexcool (orange coolant). I personally would like to convert mine to Zerex G5 but the Dealer said it could affect my CPO warranty should I have a component in the cooling system fail. Bummer. Lots of bad press on Dexcool doing a Google search.
