I just saw a 2000, with the right side fan siezed. Never saw that before. I hope there is an after market supplier for them. Saab is very proud of that fan and wants a chunk of change to part with one.
If you open the cap and hear a woosh of pressure, the cap is likely holding. If you open the cap and hear nothing, put a cap on it. If there is constant flow of bubbles visible going into the tank you need a headgasket or more. There is a thing called a blocktester that can reveal combustion gasses in your coolant. 5 minute test.
Check the basics. Do both fans run? Do they blow hot air or is the radiator cold? Does it run hotter stopped at a light or on the freeway? Is there a plastic grocery bag stuck to my AC condensor behind the grille blocking all airflow? That's my favorite.
