Unfortunatly, the gaskets in this area are pretty tricky to replace. If you have definetly narrowed it down to the area (not the sump, oil filter area, valve cover, transmission area, etc.) then it is probably the front main seal or the oil pump seal. To get to these you have to pull the fender liner, then remove the belt(s) then get the crank pulley off (can be pretty tough) then pull the oil pump. Once there, then its pretty easy to replace the front main seal and oil pump o-ring, but I wouldn't bother unless the oil leak was pretty bad. I doubt local parts stores would have these seals unless they specialize in saabs or Euro imports, but they are only a few dollars from the dealer anyway.
