I bought my 42,000 mile 900 in Feb01.The dealer gave it its 56,000 mile service before I picked it up (which includes fresh coolant). After a couple of thousand miles the low fluid level light came on - and so I topped up and watched the leve dropping again. So Saab dealer presssure tests it, and decides it needs a new head gasket, which they fit under warranty. But recently I noticed the level still dropping, and sometimes a puddle on the road after a using the car. (the puddle is blue-tinted coolant - not a/c condensate). The Saab dealer then pressure tested, looked for leaks, but could not find anything. When the leaking occours I can see where it has run down the front right hand side of the engine block, from approximately the head gasket level /water pump area. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? This is my first modern Saab, and my confidence is dropping. TIA, Dransfield <my name><a>mail.com
