Being one who fixes Saab's for a living I will just say this.
The high pressure power steering line from pump to rack (I would assume this is the one you had replaced) has a tendency to leak on the 9k. Almost every 9k shows some leakage from this line. The severity of the leakage is what I use in determining if I will recomend it be replaced. As for the water pump I will recommend one if it is leaking coolant from the weep hole. The weep hole is located on the bottem very close to the pully and when the bearing in the water pump starts to go it will leak from there. If it is ignored it will start to make noise after some time or show some sign of close complete failure. The other thing I see is the o-rings on the block side of the water pump fail. When these start to leak I give the owner a choice. Replace the o-rings only (laber same as replacing pump because you must remove pump) or new water pump if mileage etc shows this may be more economical in the long run.
