...the normal, minor, head gasket seepage at #10. Easy to tell if it's the VC gasket: is the front of the head oily/dirty, or does the seepage seem to start only at the head/block interface? If the head is oily/wet/dirty, it's your VC gasket. Another familiar leak is at the distributor plug on the left side of the head.
VC gasket seepage is a normal part of Saab life. If you turn to page one of your owner's manual, there are instructions there on how to correct non-leaking VC gaskets by loosening bolts, drilling holes, etc. Saabs aren't Saabs without some oil/coolant/blood loss.
If it's not leaving spots, you need to work harder at getting your car to leak, and turn in your Saab membership!
