The dealer should fix the leak under warranty with no questions asked. If the leak is on the right side of the head (passenger side) then there is a good chance that it is a leak right at the top of the timing chain cover where it meets the head, but may not be the head gasket. This is a pretty common leak and a full day job to fix it as they have to lower the whold subframe and engine down to repair it. Both 9-5 2.3l that I owned had this leak and I worked as a Saab service writer for 2 years so I have seen quite a few. The good news is I haven't seen many combacks for the same leak, I think they install an updated gasket.
