Is my DI Cassette Failing?

After 10 years and 103K miles, I believe the DI cassette may be failing on my '91 9000S. Starting yesterday, I noticed the engine stumble when I would push on the gas to accelerate. Once the RPMs moved up and the engine was not under load, it would smooth out. Today it seems worse, and I also had the ignition cut out at higher RPMs when accelerating in low gear to merge. I pulled the DI cassette when I got home, and it definitely has some cracks in it. Most are in the narrow part that covers the spark plug insulators, but the number 4 cylinder seems to have a good crack in the wider part that I assume covers the coil. There also appears to be a small amout of clear liquid (oil?) around the bottom of the spark plug hole. Are my engine symptoms typical of a DI failure, or are they a symptom of something else. In any case, with the cracks, it would appear I will be replacing the DI cassette.
Can anyone provide me an inexpensive source for the part? I will be calling Saabstory for a quote in the morning. I understand I will need the new wiring harness. Is there any trick to installing the new harness?
