The car is an '88 900S 16V, my girlfriend was driving and said it started to overheat today while sitting in traffic but didn't get up into the red and went down when the car was moving at a decent speed. Tonight I checked the coolant and discovered it a bit low, added about a quart and checked it out, car seemed to be running just fine. Checked the oil and uh-oh, white milky crap on the dipstick. Am I right to assume the head gasket has blown or is there anything else on these cars that's likely to cause that symptom? Are there any tricks or tips I should know before digging into this? I've done a number of head gaskets before but never on a Saab. Do I need to replace the head bolts or any other parts or should I just get a top end gasket set and replace anything I disturb?
