Schpank: (LOVE that call sign!)
We should have started another thread for this topic, but oh, well! :> I think what I wrote before was about the little rubber donut thingies on the bottom of the brake fluid reservoir. Mine started leaking a few years ago, and I replaced them. It wasn't too hard to do.
If your master cylinder is bad, there are two (really three) repair options you have. You can rebuild it, or replace it. Replacing it is really two choices, because you can either get a new one ($$$) or a rebuilt/used one.
Check with some of the SaabNet sponsors (one of my favorites is Jim at SobStory) and see if they have M/C rebuild kits. They're sure to be a lot cheaper than ordering them from your local Saab dealership.
If you've done a M/C rebuild on another car before, doing the one on your Saab won't be too hard for you. It's the same idea -- replacing the rubber seals inside on the piston. You'll have to make sure the inner walls of the cylinder are clean and not scored or damaged... otherwise they may need polishing out as part of the rebuild. Usually, though, you only need to disassemble it, clean it out, and replace the worn parts inside with the ones from the kit. Rebuilding is the cheapest alternative by far, but it's also the most time consuming. If you've got a day to play with it, that's the way to go.
Good luck.
