Firstly, it's seemingly a tradition for a Saab to ooze a bit of oil from the very corner you're describing. So if it's not leaving drips in your driveway, I'd say just keep an eye on it.
Another common malady in these cars is a tendency for the head bolts to loosen over time. Search the archives for "head bolt retorque" and read on.
You don't want to pour that stuff into your coolant passages unnecessarily, even though some folks swear it's harmless. There have been a lot of examples to the contrary, including several on this forum.
Of course, if you've explored those options and still feel BL is the right route to go (goodness knows these cars aren't worth much these days, so "miracle cures" are far less of a no-no now), perhaps the archives list the preferred product to use. I've not used it myself, so unfortunately I can't offer any assistance other than to suggest trying other avenues first before you go that way.
