I'm not sure if I can post a link but I read on another Saab site (I had to check even though SaabNet.com is my go to page :-) ) is that the leak can be "fixed" with JB Weld.

On that site, Burnsside42 says:
Common issue - cover does NOT have to be removed to fix.
Leak is located at the rear of the cover just below the t-chain tensioner. It is leaking from the cover.

Support the engine with a jack (and black of wood)
Remove the upper engine mount "U" bracket.
Gain clear access to this area. Clean very well with brakleen and scotch bright pad.
Using a heavy grit sand paper sand this area to scuff it up good. You may have to remove the tensioner to get good access.
Clean again with brakleen and ensure the area is dry and free of oil.
Mix up some original J.B. WELD and apply over the timing cover and the engine block area.
Let the car sit over night!
Reassemble everything and fire it up - recheck and the leak should be 90% to 100% fixed.

If for any reason you need to pull the timing cover the J.B. WELD will break off when needed.

Any thoughts on the JB Weld idea??
