They do not lose much coolant, until the hose lets go...then you are screwed. I have never seen this so called normal steam come from any of my saabs over the years, warm or cold climes. What I have seen is the coolant hoses on the throttle body develop pinhole leaks, not that obvious....with the car running and the cooling system at pressure try squeezing them and see what happens...they are a bear to replace too.
