Just letting everyone know, my car is running again after an oil cooler change. I've been working on it for a month, and parts would break every week as we'd take it apart, and put it back together, so we would have to wait a week for parts to come, or for there to be no rain (My father and I work busy schedules, and only had a couple hours every Saturday).
ANYONE ATTEMPTING THIS JOB READ:
We put everything back together, and went to start it up. It would turn slowly but not start and it shook like crazy. Obviously something bad. We looked under the car and there was about 1/4 quart oil pouring onto the ground. We looked around and concluded it was coming from the oil cooler area, so we decided to take it back apart (Took only 5 minutes the second time!) What ended up being the problem: The banjo bolts holding the oil cooler to the oil cover need 2 washers each. However, if you look closely, most of the time there will still be a washer attatched to the head of the banjo bolt. It's the same way on the coolant manifold where the tempurature sensor sits.
Also, be extremely careful while tightening the banjo bolts. I had 2 break on me at very unreasonable torque.
I am in the middle of flushing my coolant, but wanted to let everyone know my gorgeous SAAB is up and running again.
