Mike,
Like you said Saabs don't really burn oil (have bad rings). The stem seals do go bad (my 87 has this problem) but its usually only on start up after the car has sat for a while that you notice a pretty blue cloud for a momemt. In you sister's case I also think that its the turbo. The sealis the turbo go bad and the oil that is supplied for cooling/lube burns. There are 2 options to solve this: Get a new-used Turbo or Rebuild the one you got. Both options will require to spend $150-250.
I would suggest going to the junkyard and taking one off but I know you are not going to do that. (nethier does anyone else, except me- I love 'em)
