Go with new "O" rings as long as you already have it out. Usually that is all that is all that is needed when they do leak, even if is preventative maintenance.
As far as the clutch goes, order a clutch master cylinder from one of the sponsors of site (last link in menu at top of page} or if you are handy then you could order a rebuild kit. Pretty simple to do and the only "special tool" is a pair of snap-ring pliers, takes about 30 min or less. Replacement is simple, undo the flare nut at the front, two bolts coming thru fire-wall, I think they are 13mm nut, and a pin at the top of the clutch pedal. The only tough part is bleeding the system, needs about 15 - 20 psi of pressure applied to get the fluid to the slave cylinder. As long as your in there take a look at the rubber hose {under air cleaner) where it goes to the slave for cracks and such. Might as well check your clutch plate and see if it is close to wearing out. If it is, IMHO do it now as you will have to "bleed" the system again after you replace clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and slave cylinder. If the clutch needs replacing get the spacer in the pressure plate as long as you have some pressure in the system, other wise it is a real PITA to get the slave out, if you don't have the SAAB tool use a handle of a 5 gallon bucket and bend into shape, then cut off excess leaving enough to put a 90 degree bend so you can grab it out easily when you bleed the system. If you go that far, may as well replace the hose also, about 15.00 or so. Entire job would be about 300 bucks if you do it yourself, they sell clutch kits that include most of the parts, you may have to order the input shaft bearing separately some kits include it (goes in the center of flywheel). The slave cylinder, master cylinder and hose would also be separate. I would suggest eEuroparts as they have a really good guarantee for most parts (lifetime).
