Is this the only way? My daughter's 79 had the same problem. Kept adding oil until it got too bad. Actually, she ran it too low, and caused some damage. Only lasted another 3 years, then replaced with another used one. I know some techs who have done their own replacement without pulling the engine. It took two of them, both Saab specialists, and a lot of time, but they did it. Also said they would never attempt it for a customer, because if it didn't work right, they'd have to pull the engine anyhow and no way could charge for the time<g>. You could try a can of BG transmission additive, but it isn't likely to solve the problem. $15 O-ring, lots of $$$labor. Dick in Falls Church, VA
