I think what your mechanic is seeing is a leak going to the outside of the engine rather than leaking into one of the cylinders. Although this is less serious than leaking into the cylinders it may and probably is a sign of the general condition of the head gasket[In my experience the head gaskets on Saab 900 almost always fail due to some form of corrosion or gasket degridation as opposed to rips or tears in the gasket]
I guess it is a question of how far you drive and how much you rely on your car because in my experience leaks never go away with stop leak they just get delayed. They always get worse on that 1000 mile drive to Aunt Sadie's for Christmas dinner.
