Mine was not putting out any smoke after starting up (neither while accelerating or cruising), and even then it was just one quick puff. That's why the service manager's explanation that most likely a drop of oil was seeping out somewhere while the car was parked made sense to me.
While I don't know for sure, that sounds like it might just be a bad seal or gasket somewhere around the turbo. That may also be why the service manager said he felt replacing the turbo was a pretty expensive way (for Saab) to fix my complaint, but that is what they said to do. Since it is still under warranty, it is no cost to me, so no big deal.
Other people here have said that the turbo on the Saab lasts a long time, so I wouldn't worry.
