The local (BB) logic is when you get a "new to you" SAAB with unknown or sketchy service history, the first order of maintenance should be to replace/flush ALL fluids and put on new belts. I didn't know this when I first got my '90 900 and spent a couple of evenings under the car on the side of the highway dealing w/ self destructed belts and other little avoidable goodies. I'm a freak for listening to all the chirps and quirks the car makes and a recent change of all my 3 year old belts to new, good Gates (Conti's good too) made a huge difference. Ok enough belt preaching. Well, not really - the power steering belt is notorious for squeaking at startup if just a bit loose (or overtight) and is usually the startup culprit if not the harm. balancer. Is the crankshaft pulley (harm. bal.) leaking oil? Does the p/s hose leak? Any flung crud and oil can make the belts squeak. On the other hand, the crankshaft pulley could be shot. Try marking the pulley across its face to determine if the inner and outer rings have separated (along the rubber "balancer" core). If the marks deviate, you know the answer. Change those belts at the same time as the pulley...good luck
