I've had an oil leak for the last 6 mo. and have replaced everything!!! PVC #6, head gasket, valve cover gasket, turbo gasket/o-ring, vacuum pump o-rings, oil sending unit (twice, buy saab unit), timing chain tensioner, Intake manifold gasket and crankshaft front seals. My 9-5 is a 01 with 81K, 4 cly. The oil is leaking on the right side. I had a left side leak which turned out to be the vacuum pump o-rings. I talked to another saab mechanic recently...he said that saab had trouble with a porous casting/lower timing cover an also asked if my mechanic replaced the seal (looks like a washer with rubber on each side) when he replaced the timing chain tensioner. Good luck with your oil leak. Many, many post with this problem including one who has been dealing with it for 9 months!
