Do you feel your mistake was with the service? There is nothing you can do to prevent a TBV from leaking and require replacement. Just replace it when it leaks. Pulley seal on oil pump. This will not 'blow it up', but can degrade the rubber on the damper pulley eventually requiring replacement. This part itself (the pulley) costs >100.00, I think. If the leak is not too bad, just drive it and check your oil regularly. Save for this repair and do it when the weather is a bit nicer. If your dad can help with a brake job, I am sure with a little assistance from Saabnet and the Townsend site, you 2 can replace the valve cover gasket, tranny switch (Reverse light switch?) The reverse light switch is about 15.00, the valve cover gasket is about 20.00, oil pump seal is about 15.00 + another 5 or so for the o-ring.
