haha thanks for the info,
basically, a friend told me "it's definately your oil pump", having never done that sort of job on a car, I brought it to the shop, the more I read here, the stronger I feel about the problem being the new valve cover, or reliefe valve just being stuck open that is causing the problem, so, its at the shop, and, will get fixed, even if it is a 20 minute repair, such as swapping the old cover back. It may be that, it may not be....the closest shop that does work on saabs is an hour away...and thats where it is, I dont want to take it back home, put the valve cover back on, only to find, thats not the fix! I called contacted the mechanic today, who said he has not worked on the car yet, and described some of the things to guys mentioned here...check old valve cover to see if that fixes it, check pressure reliefe valve, etc. The guy has a good reputation, his shop is well known in town and a lot of people in the area go to him, I'm hoping he treats me &the SPG good :)
Thanks again for all your help!
