I had the same issue on my '94 9000 non-turbo. Was not leaking quite as much as you described. I retorqued the head bolts and added the small silver bottle of Bars Leaks.
This stopped the leak. I can tell you that I had routinely used the Bars Leaks previously more for heater core issues. It was the head retorque that eliminated the leaking more than the Bars Leaks.
For 1994 model year only, Saab had a separate service bulletin outlining a different head torque and procedure for 1994 model year 9000's. I followed this exactly and it worked for me.
