When I threw a new engine in my Saab, I had the timeing chain and tesioner changed. Lucky thing. That same thing you describe occured. That alerted us to change tha gasket too. When we swapped out the old gasket, that area was torn and failing. This is called the area between the number 1 cylinder and the timing chain. This is a frequent area for failure.
Go to http://www.twinsaabs.com for a complete description on how to swa out.
A note of warning. The head is held on by speciallized reverse TORX bolts that need a special Snap-On tool for removal. Do not attempt the swap without that tool.
