I have a '00 9-5 with 6000 miles. I noticed blue smoke on startup one week ago (See Oh no Blue Smoke! posting of a week ago) Took the car to the dealer (Hunt Valley SAAB) last Friday. He said that there was a piece of debris blocking the crankcase ventillation system that had caused pressure to build in the crank case and resulting seepage of oil through the turbo seal. He cleared the debris and replaced the turbo. So far so good. The car feels more torquey - previously I had noticed a drop in torque as the car warmed up!
Note that in the '99 models there were some turbos that failed due to an incorrectly bored bolt on the coupling of the water cooling line to the turbo. This crankcase vent problem is quite different.
FYI this is my third SAAB. Previously I have no turbo failure in 300,000 miles on two cars.
