Josh,
You would enjoy fixmysaab.com and quasimotor's site.
With respect to the power steering, my '96 had a persistent drip from the 2 hoses that connect to the ps reservoir. I sucked the fluid out of the reservoir with a turkey baster and then removed the hoses from the res and cut them about 1 inch and reattached them. This stopped the drip.
I also cleaned the motor with a rag. This allowed me to view where things might be seeping from. For instance, the ps fluid had run down the hose and collected as wetness near the steering rack and made me worry that I had a bad hose at that end. It turned out to be fine(dry) once I cleaned it and watched it.
You may have a leak down there at the rack(this could be relatively expensive). You may have a valve cover gasket leak(not too hard to fix or have fixed).
Good luck
Peter
'96 CS
