It is actually leaking oil out of every gasket there is (oil pan, rear seal, etc. (except for valve cover gaskets however), as far as I can tell. The weird thing is it sprang the leaks almost immediately, it had never leaked oil before that day. Now oil literally pours out when it is running. The day it happened the oil leaked out so fast that I didn't have a chance to put oil in it so it does now burn a little oil. When this happened it also started overheating within minutes. If I fill it with oil, start it and run it, it will overheat in about 5 minutes. I know the turbo is out, and possibly related to the problem. I would hate to replace the gaskets and seals and have it do the same thing. That is the single biggest reason I am leaning towards another engine, unless I could pinpoint the cause of the leaks. It almost seemed as oil pressure had exceeded what the gaskets could hold and they all just gave way.
I really appreciate all the help that everyone is giving me, this is the best message lists I have ever been on. I owe you all a 12 pack!

One more thing: Does anyone have a really good Saab book they could recommend, i.e. Chilton or Haynes, etc? Thanks!
