sounds like the headgasket to me.
you can get the gasket set (i'd get valve cover at the same time) from eeuroparts or thesaabsite as well as other site sponsors.
I'm not 100% what's involved but you could do this job yourself, provided you are comfortable removing the timing chain to remove the head.
My headgasket is a bit leaky (according to my oil analysis THANKS to blackstone labs). But I don't notice any smoking and no loss of coolant so I'm debating on if I should do the head gasket now or just trying cranking the head down a bit and seeing if that will do the trick.
I wouldn't attempt the head gasket myself as I'm not comfortable removing the timing chain and such. My cousin would have to help me out since he has 5+ years as a Saab dealer tech and is re-building his 91 9KT's engine to go with all sorts of other goodies.
