The trany input seal is only accessable when the trany is out, and I think that you are going to loose a lot of trany oil when the output shafts are out. So doing some the one or other trany seals makes some sense. If not at a Saab dealer, perhaps some Redline sysnthetic gear box oil...
You could replace just the input seal. There were many vehicle where the output seals started to leak. These are the ones for the drive shafts. So thats you call. The incremental cost might be minor. I don't see that the change to synthetic in any way calls for new seals. Some input shaft seals do fail, so I think that while you are at it that this would be good at a minimum.
The rad, if it is leaking at the seam where the aluminum core attaches to the plastic end tank, it might fix using vice grips to tighen the crimped aliminum. If its leaking where the core tubes attach to the aluminum end plates, thats a serious problem and I don't know if you can get a permanent fix for that. Adding leak goo will not help for the long term.
