I purchased a '99 9-3 with 44k. I noticed a very small oil seep at the front right corner of the engine (#10 head bolt). I wasn't too worried at first, but it got much worse after 55k when oil AND coolant began to leak.
So, after paying an indy $1000 to replace the head gasket, I've read on this bulletin board that the dealer will repair these under warranty. Saab knows there's a problem with the #10 head bolt, so I'd have them install new head bolts or whatever, so you don't eat it.
You'll want to replace the idler and tensioner pulleys (DIY for under $100)& keep a spare DIC ($250) in the trunk.
