I could write a book; but, long story short version is: The 9-5 PCV system when designed had an active electronic component that was not allowed by the US Environmental Control Regs. Saab quickly redesigned it and as a result, there were incorrect pressures in the PCV system. This caused oil seeping from the headgasket as well as other oil pressurization issues. Saab started doing modifications that did not work until the Mod #6 which is being tested by Chuck Andrews. I have linked to his website where all the articles on this problem can be found. I have replaced two headgaskets at $900 each time. This is an inexpensive fix which appears to prevent that. Doing a search here will find lots of other info.
