had similar coolant loss, but point of loss was evident, at #10 head bolt area of the block. After reading all the posts here about repacing the gasket and freaking over the amount of labor, I read Tagliaferro's and Saab Tech Bulletin which both say that if you haven't yet experienced performance problems or gotten into oil/coolant mixture issues, all you need to do is re-torque. That I did, not really that difficult, but, after I had done the first 8 or 9 without finding a loose one, I was convinced I was doomed. Then, sure enough, the 10th was just more than finger tight, it was a real relief to fix and one of the more satisfying things I've ever done to a car. That was a month ago and I haven't put an ounce of coolant in since.
