Hi, A friend is interested to see a 9-5 estate, 2.0lt, LPT (probably). It was first registered in April 2000, and sold by a SAAB dealer before they auction it. The dealer said the SID has the usual problem (OK, documented), I know about the sludge. Any other known problems I could be missing? The dealer mentioned a "small oil leak". If it is head gasket I know what to do (walk away) but can I see if it is head gasket? Is there any common failure point for oil to leak from? e.g. gear selector shaft seals ... something else? TIA Charles -- Please remove _removeme_ to reply.
