Had the same thing on my MY05 9-5SW Arc, and my tech foreman explained that the materials for the water pump seal had changed, and that it fails. His words were - "why did the SAAB engineers mess with something that always worked?".
Replaced the seal - problem went away. It was just a tiny whiff, but I have a sensitive nose for coolant.
The level in the reservoir was always fine, until finally after a full year in service, I got the low coolant message.
