that oil seems too high up to be coming from the rear seal. my guess is that it's coming from where the endplate meets both the block and the head - upper left corner if you're viewing from the front of the motor. was told that this is a very common leak and that it is under crankcase pressure only. you would need to remove clutch cover to investigate.
if that's indeed the source, you might try cleaning the area as well as possible, then spooge some hi-temp silicone there. i was also told that to fix this properly, head must come off. official word from reputable SAAB tech: leave it alone unless it's realy gushing.
