Like stated, first get the # 6 update, eeuroparts is a great source of parts. Start searching the boards as it's all been covered, but to put your mind at ease, buy a valve cover gasket, pull the cover and check for sludge. If it's super clean, then I would not worry about pulling the pan. These cars are not prone to leak, but not having #6 can cause them.
What does the car sound like when it spools, any weird whinning that might sound like the turbo as the seals can go bad and out goes the oil. A good way to check is to take the plastic delivery pipe off and check inside for oil. But do # 6 because that is a lot of oil, and the light going on is not good. Where in chicago do you live as I have a 2002 viggen?
Preventive maintenance for me is run auto-rx.
