Sounds like the infamous rear seal...

There is lots of info in the bulletin board archives on oil leaks. When I got my car (1990 900 Turbo), it had multiple leaks. The one you are describing is similiar to the one I just repaired while replacing the clutch and slave cylinder. The rear seal located behind the flywheel seems to develop a leak and drains from the seal along the engine casing through a hole underneath the flywheel and clutch onto the skid plate and through the hole to the ground. Even though this repair was pretty involved, it seemed pretty straight forward. Mine was leaking since I got the car, but I waited until I needed to work on the clutch before attempting. My slave cylinder blew its seal which gave me the excuse to operate...
