The power steering lines shouldn't pass fluids into the passenger compartment. However, that the car is a 92 is a clue. In 1992, Saab decided - after all these years - that a filter in the PS fluid line would be a good idea. This filter is mounted with hose clamps in the return line to the reservior from the rack. this filter sits against the firewall very close to where the interior ventilation plenum enters. it's possible That a very leaky line, or even a filter that is cracked or worn through is seeping past the gasket that surrounds the plenum. Get out your flashlight & peer down there between the reservior and the plenum and see what you see.
Coming to the NJSOC meeting on the 31st?
