Well it's not a show car, but I'm not in a position to replace it yet so I'd rather it work for a few more years. I called the Saab guy in these parts, Jerry at Foreign Auto Specialities in Minneapolis, and he basically said what we've said. He thought a magnet could get down there too, but after pushing some rubber hose and some wire down there I don't see how a magnet could make it. Even if I could get one down there, my luck I'd pull the torx bit up sideways and knock it back in the pan. He said if a magnet or whatever couldn't pull it up, to just leave it in there. He also said for him to pull the oil pan would be at least $400. So I'm going to throw the valve cover back on and see what happens.
Thanks for all the help everyone. Make sure you cover any and all holes when working on your car!!
