don't sweat the o-ring leak - it's the crank/front seal that can be catastrophic.
Regarding Eric's post, I recently replaced the clutch on a friends '90 900 (my former car). Symptom was when the clutch was disengaged (pedal in) it would make a metallic squeal. By putting my head down by the clutch when she pressed the pedal I could hear the sound eminate from the flywheel area. Pilot bearing. It had seized and actually walked out of the flywheel a bit and would grind into the clutch shaft when pedal is depressed. A throw out bearing will either squeak the whole time (as it is in light contact with the pressure plate always) or when the clutch is disengaged (pedal in) and it is loaded. Either way you can determine it's location if you got a clutch squeak.
Good luck
