On my 99 9-5, I have an oil leak from the rear crankshaft seal, which started around 66k miles. This type of leak disgusts me, with regards to thinking about it, seeing the oil spots on my driveway, and the stench of it as oil drips onto the exhaust.
Cause ? I can only speculate that perhaps Saab uses a less costly seal or a redesigned one to save weight. I've never seen the oil seal on the 2.3l, but on my 1986 2.0l the seal was a robust hunk of material, and on my car remained leak less for the 220k miles driven over 12 years.
