Where are your "seeping leaks" ? If they are not at the seam...

and seeping from the reinforcement fibers in the hose at the end of the hose itself then you need to change the hose(s) ASAP.
My upper hose blew up while I was driving on the highway, not a comforting sight. Before this happened, I saw some seeping from the reinforcement fibers at the upper hose. In hind sight, there was a cut/crack in the upper hose, and coolant was leaking into the fiber and leaking out at the exposed end of the hose. Usually you don't have a leak when the car is standing and cold but the cut/crack widens when the car is hot and coolant under pressure.
If you hoses are still good, try tightening the hose clamps when the car is cold. The clamps can become loose in time due to many heating and cooling cycles.
You can get the hose kit at the dealer but you can try any Saabnet sponsors and they should know.
