driveshaft leak solved !!

Long process and one really incompetant dealer, but finally got it solved.
Problem: the trans cover for the driver side driveshaft was leaking, even after new seals were installed. It was leaking about 1/4 to 1/3 of a quart a day.
Apparantly the numbnut mechanic at Ed Napleton saab in South Bend, Indiana, tried to pound out the driver's driveshaft to replace the oil seal and didn't realize he only had to remove a few bolts on the driveshaft inner trans cover. Many other front wheel driveshafts apparantly just slide out and don't have a bolted retaining cover to the trans housing on the inside joint.
Luckily i took my car to an alternate dealer (Flikkema saab 80 miles away) and he was able to diagnose the probem and replace the cover. Leak solved.
