If you intend on keeping you car, since it is only a 1994, I would get the problem fixed NOW, as it will not fix itself. I have a head gasket problem, but my Saab is an 1986 with close to 200,000 miles and lots of RUST. I will not sink anymore money into this car, primarily because of the condition of the body. This may be the last winter for my Saab, so now, after 14 years, I may have to buy a new car. I wonder how the 2000 9-5 wagons drive?
