Where is the oil leaking from the turbo? If it is leaking from one of the oil lines, it may simply require a new gasket. A common condition but no fun to replace if it is the lower return line that is leaking. The original gaskets are still available from SAAB.
There may not be a dipstick for the transmission, some early SAABs did not have them. Looking under the exhaust manifold, you should see the side cover for the transmission. There is a fill plug in the side cover that is removed with a square-drive socket. You can see the fill plug in the photo above. I use a teriyaki stick to measure how much trans fluid is in there on my 99T. Welcome to the world of SAAB and good luck.
