what they are talking about! It is most likely the joint between the hard line and the flex line in the hydraulic line to the clutch slave cylinder. Look on the drivers side just behind the radiator - there you will find a black plastic cover over the clutch - metal tube line, with a metal bleed nipple just above it, coming out and curving toward the wheel well. Follow this line back - it will change to black rubber 'flex' line, and then back to metal again. You will probably find that one of the transitions from metal to flex has come apart, allowing all the pressure and fluid that operates the clutch to leak out - hence puddle on the ground when it failed. This is a common failure/fault in the c900 Saab. Was your clutch very heavy to push? When the clutch has reached the almost worn out stage, the pressure required gets much greater, putting additional stress on this hydraulic joint. Check your fluid level sender at the brake fluid reservoir. It is probably unplugged or not working - or the light in the dash is not working - it should have come on.
