You have the classic symptoms of bad valve guide seals. When the car sits, when off or at a light, the oil seeps down the valve stem and when you start up you burn off the oil that has collected. In some cars you can take the valve cover off, pressuriize the cylender thru the spark plug hole and remove the spring and guides with out removing the heads. Thats what we did for an old toyoto truck I had. Dont know about the Saabs. Sludg wont do this as I see it.
