Smoke...Then nothing... Power Steering?

Hi, I have an 87 900s in wonderful condition save one recently developed problem. When I start the car, for about 5-8 minutes, or presumably until it is warmed up, there is a glorious volume of smoke that appears to be coming from the engine area directly adjacent/in front of the passenger firewall. Is that in the vicinity of the power sterring pump?? It appears fluid may be dripping onto the exhaust system right where it leaves the engine (because that is where I can see the small puffs of smoke coming from) but after about 5 minutes it stops and doesn't come back even if I drive all day, unless the car sits again for several hours. Is it a leaky joint that expands when the car warms up and then seals itself?? Or does the Saab system vent a bunch of fluid back into some area that then vents out of the engine when the car first starts up? I have had to add little PS fluid occasionally in recent months... Any SAAB gurus out there have some suggestiosn or ever experienced this?? Thanks.
