uh oh! I have to go home and check ASAP!

I bought some years back at the dealer and I swear it was already 50/50 (I remember thinking what a rip off!). I just bought new from eEuro (Saab genuine) and didnt even bother to check!! well...that is interesting. if that is the case and I did fill it at 100% coolant. Will be a challenge to determine how much to drain and refill with distilled water!! (face palm).

and...wonder if this could be the cause of my new leak at the block and water pump connector pipe?!?!?
