I was, and fortunately I caught it before there was any severe engine damage. About a week ago, I had to put in a quart of antifreeze every other day, but I was not losing it on the ground. Put the car in the shop and it turned out the #10 head bolt was lose. (Closest to the battery.) Apparantly SAAB had a problem with one of their robots not torquing the head bolts correcty, and it is common for the #10 to be lose. (Like so lose you can tighten it by hand!!!!) SAAB refuses to recognize this as a potential problem since it is usally fixed during the warrantee period. If you let this problem persist, you will undoubtedly ruin your engine. My mechanic only charged me $140.00 to get it fixed, and he included 4L of SAAB Turbo oil, an Oil Filter and some Oil additive.
