Thanks Harry. I forgot to mention that my Saab is a 1996 model. I hope the leak is originating at the windshield washer valve, as you suggested, otherwise, I am guessing, I may have a bad water pump, which I imagine is expansive, not to mention that I won't be able to replace it myself if it has to be replaced. Can't even find a manual for for a 1996 Saab 900S. Any suggestions?
