Found it! Pin hole in the bypass hose. It took some driving and letting the car run for awhile in the driveway, and then all of the sudden coolant shot out like a geyser. I had my dad looking under the hood while I was revving the engine. It almost got him!
The hose clamps where rusted and wouldn't budge, not even with PB Blaster. I managed to pry one of them off (probably not the best idea), and, realizing that I didn't have a chance with the one going into the head (I tried for like an hour), I got out the Dremel and cut that baby off.
Now to get the part! I'm hoping Autopart International or the local Saab dealer have it or can get it quick so I can avoid the wait with ordering it online. thesaabsite.com has it though.
Oh, and I managed to get that new temperature sensor in too. I had to take it out simply out of curiosity. The NTC was really corroded when I replaced that a couple months ago and I wanted to see if this one was too. It was.
Anyways, thanks again everyone for all of the input!
