Greg-- Thanks very much for the suggestions.
I used Elring head gasket (which I think is Saab OEM[?).
Did not notice bolt re- torque problems.
Also visually inspected head before re-installing but then again did not take a magnifying glass to it or take to a machine shop.
Bought car from owner #2 whose kid had blown a radiator hose and the car ran out of antifreeze, I am guessing.. Ran fine for ~ 5K miles.
Ran pressure test recently w/ coolant press. pump and it is definitely leaking ..SLOWLY>>>but still leaking.
Looks like a new head (?) or head gasket, yes??
